ACTRA Toronto Service Update
In our continuing efforts to balance member services with suitable safety measures, the ACTRA Toronto office is now open to members and the public for in-person service on an appointment-only basis.
Since ACTRA Toronto staff continue to work on a hybrid model, all in-person appointments must be scheduled in advance, by email. To schedule an in-person appointment, please use this Staff Directory to find the email address of the appropriate staff member.
While in-person services are offered by appointment only, staff continue to be available to provide service by email, phone and zoom.
PLEASE NOTE: The ACTRA Toronto office is a mask-friendly workplace and the use of masks by members is encouraged and appreciated.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
