OTTAWA — Members of Canada’s screen-based production community will be able to pose questions and submit recommendations to Canadian Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault in advance of a virtual town hall being held September 16.
The town hall is part of Heritage’s development of a post-pandemic recovery plan for the cultural industries, and attendees are asked to fill out a short survey to submit recommendations about actions the federal government can take to help revitalize Canada’s production sector in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic. The survey also allows attendees to submit questions or comments ahead of the town hall. The deadline for completing the survey is September 9.
The virtual town hall with Minister Guilbeault will be moderated by Reynolds Mastin, president and CEO the Canadian Media Producers Association (CMPA), and Hélène Messier, president and CEO of AQPM (Association québécoise de la production médiatique).
Registration is required as space is limited. More information about the virtual town hall and a registration link is available on CMPA’s website here.
