ACTRA Toronto represents over 15,000 of Canada’s professional performers. We represent a wide range of performers including actors, voice artists, dancers, singers, hosts, narrators, puppeteers, stunt performers and coordinators, background performers, stand-ins and more. ACTRA Toronto is the largest group of performers within Canada’s national performers’ union, ACTRA.
When ACTRA members work, they are protected by agreements like the Independent Production Agreement or the National Commercial Agreement that set out minimum rates of pay and working conditions.
The agreements negotiated between ACTRA and producer associations or broadcasters establish minimum conditions and fees, but ACTRA members are encouraged to negotiate up from these minimums. These agreements are administered and enforced by dedicated staff in ACTRA offices across the country, the largest of which is ACTRA Toronto.
