Diversity, engagement, anchors NFB’s new strategic plan


MONTREAL – The National Film Board of Canada this week unveiled its 2020-23 strategic plan saying it will place “creation and audience engagement at the heart of the organization’s objectives.”

Over the next three years, the NFB’s key goals are:

  • to ensure that as many voices as possible have the opportunity to express themselves, so that a greater diversity of points of view are seen and heard
  • to renew its approach to programming and enrich the experience of creation
  • to reinvent its marketing, presentation, and distribution methods
  • to increase its funding in order to devote more money to production.

“2020 was marked by sweeping changes, brought about not only by the COVID-19 pandemic but also by environmental crises and the demands of Indigenous people and underrepresented groups—and there is no doubt that Canada, like the rest of the world, will be transformed as a result. Through its 2020–2023 Strategic Plan, the NFB intends to help ensure that these changes are positive and constructive, and that they engage our sense of civic duty and contribute to our collective well-being,” reads the press release.
