In the spirit of following recommended procedures, we ask Members not to visit the ACTRA Manitoba office in person but to conduct business with the office by email or phone: 204-339-9750.

We are sending our Member to Member e-blast twice a month. In addition, please check your email for updates from ACTRA National.

We urge everyone to follow the guidelines and protocols put forth by public health officials.

• Information from the Province of Manitoba regarding the COVID-19 outbreak. According to the current Public Health Act, “a business that is producing a motion picture or television show, if filming had started before these Orders came into effect” may open (#72 on the Schedule).
• ACTRA Manitoba COVID-19 Best Practices Guide.
• ACTRA National’s COVID-19 webpage has information about financial support. Note that the Canada Recovery Benefit (CRB) opened for applications on October 12, 2020.
• The On Screen Manitoba Producer’s Committee has endorsed the Manitoba Media Production Industry COVID-19 Health and Safety Guide (updated October 7, 2020). The Guide is supplemental to, and not a replacement for, the requirements stipulated by the Government of Manitoba to reduce the spread of COVID-19. It is intended to complement the Manitoba Government guidelines listed in Restoring Safe Services: Phase 2 (scroll down to Film Production effective June 1), an update in Phase 3 (scroll down to Film Production effective June 21) and under Workplace Guidance for Business Owners. Here is a supplementary page with additional resources.
