In December 2023, the NFB began a process of restructuring that is still ongoing. Many DOC members expressed concerns about how these changes might impact them and their communities. DOC convened our members to reflect on the NFB’s mandate, and to share ideas and aspirations for our vision of the NFB that meets the needs of Canadian and Indigenous filmmakers in every region of the country.

The reflections took place virtually in February, March, April and in-person in May 2024. The following are a consolidated list of the nine priorities.

DOC provided the NFB and the Ministry of Heritage with six key Strategic Pillars as DOC’s recommendations for the NFB’s new Strategic Plan.

DOC has also compiled all of the member feedback received over the course of our community consultations. You can access the full document below.
