President's Message
Dear ACTRA Montreal members,
This year at the AGM, our message was Solidarity. Solidarity with fellow unions, workers, actors, members. Last year’s labour disputes are now resolved, and productions have started up again in full force. This doesn’t change the fact that their fight is now our fight. For those who are unaware this year we are going into negotiations for the Independent Production Agreement (IPA). If you would like to share your priorities, concerns, issues and desires for the IPA, please reach out! We have been holding focus groups across the country and we need your input; the IPA is your agreement after all.
