TORONTO – Canada’s creative community is behind a new website designed to accompany the industry-wide code of conduct to help prevent and respond to harassment, discrimination, bullying and violence in the workplace.
The site, readthecode.ca, houses a list of Code signatories and their contact information, additional resources including downloadable, printable versions of the Code (in both English and French), and updates from two working groups – the Education, Training and Awareness Committee as well as the Reporting Committee – on their progress.
The Canadian Creative Industries Code of Conduct was officially launched on March 8, 2018, and to date, over 60 organizations from within Canada’s creative community have now become signatory.
“On behalf of all the industry organizations that have contributed to this process and the launch of our Code, I am happy to announce this new resource as a next step in our industry’s goal to combat harassment, discrimination, bullying and violence within Canada’s creative sector,” said ACTRA National president David Sparrow, in a statement.
