DOC’s Ontario consultation in Toronto is key to our National initiative to hear directly from doc-makers in Ontario about how the seismic shifts in our industry are impacting your ability to create and disseminate your stories. At this crucial moment, the CRTC is in the process of deciding how to implement the Online Streaming Act (Bill C-11), which will shape how we work with streamers and broadcasters for the foreseeable future. Federal institutions are rethinking how they support development, production, distribution and discoverability of our content, and festivals and funders are having to rethink their models. There has never been a more crucial time to make your voices heard.
DOC’s cross-country consultations are taking place in collaboration with all six DOC Chapters over the course of this Fall and Winter. These discussions will help guide DOC’s advocacy efforts in the coming years, covering key issues that matter most to our community.
Thank you to the Canada Media Fund for their generous support in making these vital grassroots conversations with our members possible!
