Awards
are a way of ‘celebrating our own’ and were re-instituted
in ACTRA branches across Canada in 2003 as part of ACTRA’s
60th Anniversary.
Criteria for Award of Excellence:
This ACTRA Toronto Award of Excellence is presented to a distinguished
ACTRA Toronto performer who has made a significant and lasting contribution
to the entertainment industry. The Award of Excellence will be selected
by the Executive and Council of ACTRA Toronto Performers.
