What is ACTRA?
|
ACTRA (Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists) is a national organization of professional performers working in the English-language recorded media representing the interests of 21,000+ members across Canada.
The Mission of ACTRA - and its predecessors - has always been to negotiate, safeguard and promote the professional rights of our Members.
Interpreting this in its broadest sense, ACTRA also strives to increase work opportunities for our Members and to pursue performer-friendly public policies at the municipal, provincial and federal levels.
ACTRA is affiliated to the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) and the International Federation of Actors (FIA).

The history of Canadian media performers goes back to the early days of radio. Our organized history started in the 1940's with the formation of the Radio Artists of Toronto Society - RATS. Shortly thereafter, radio performers in Montreal, Winnipeg and Vancouver also organized to fight for artists' rights, working conditions and better fees.
