With over 15,000 members, ACTRA Toronto is the largest organization of cultural workers in the country. Their jurisdiction covers the province of Ontario, excluding the National Capital Region.

Dating back 80 years, ACTRA has been instrumental in protecting the welfare of performers and advancing the screen-based industry.

These contracts cover various sectors, including independent film production, commercials, radio and television drama, telephony, video games, and digital media content.

ACTRA members are protected by the rights and provisions outlined in these agreements. In addition to contract negotiation and administration, ACTRA Toronto actively advocates for the industry and Canadian culture. As a founding member of FilmOntario, they play a significant role in representing the industry both locally and internationally.

They participate in trade missions to attract more work to Ontario and engage in discussions with the government to create a favorable business environment for production. ACTRA Toronto takes pride in its talented members who bring stories to life with passion and authenticity. Their office is located at 625 Church Street Suite 200 Toronto, ON M4Y 2G1.
