RALLY AT QUEEN'S PARK A HUGE SUCCESS!

More than 1,000 people turned out to a rally at Queen’s Park on December 1, to demand that Premier Dalton McGuinty fix Ontario’s film and television tax credits. Actors, directors, film technicians, business owners and others working in the industry gathered in the mud and freezing rain to tell the Premier to keep the promises he made during the provincial election. More than 50 honey wagons and other film industry trucks drove in a ring around Queen’s Park with horns blaring. Actors Luba Goy and Wayne Robson hosted the event, with speakers including Brian Topp, Executive Director of ACTRA Toronto Performers, producer Don Carmody, director Ken Girotti, Deborah Osbourne who works in post-production, owner of Absolute Location Services Paul Kenyon and actor/activist Shirley Douglas. Pressed by media later in the day, Premier McGuinty was non-committal. More on the rally Report on our meeting with the Ontario Government Ontario government delivers film and television tax credits
