Dear ACTRA Montreal members,

I’d like to thank you all for your patience and understanding when dealing with the office and our great staff over the last three years. Since the start of the pandemic, we have been continually understaffed, in a job market that is incredibly competitive. We’ve lost a lot of staff to retirement and to opportunities elsewhere. But the staff that remained were fantastic. They have all taken on increased responsibilities, worked so hard, and made sure we still have a vastly experienced and knowledgeable core.

You may have noticed new voices on the other end of the phone when you’ve called the office, as we have added several new people to the ACTRA Montreal team. Each brings their own unique perspectives to the office, and we are finding exciting new ways of doing things that suit their skills. We are now very close to being back to full strength, and although there is still some training to be done, I am confident we will soon have the ACTRA Montreal office running better than ever before.

In solidarity,

Simon Peacock,
President, ACTRA Montreal
