ACTRA is thrilled to announce that our amazing partnership with The Banff World Media Festival (BANFF) will see this year's fest kick-off with an all-star panel of ACTRA performers holding candid conversations about growing and sustaining a star system for the domestic audience.

“Canadian performers are so tired of having to leave our country and make it big elsewhere before becoming household names in Canada,” ACTRA National President Eleanor Noble tells Playback, “ACTRA’s ongoing efforts to change this long-standing issue is a big reason why we are thrilled to partner with the Banff World Media Festival and the Rockie Awards in such a collaborative way.”

ACTRA members Kim Coates, Ksenia Danilea Kharlamova, Anna Lambe, Jason Priestly and Supinder Wraich will be a part of this important conversation which will be moderated by fellow member George Stroumboulopoulos.

The Canadian Screen Awards was a night to celebrate the finest achievements in our nation's amazing film and television industry. It was also a stellar night to be ACTRA as our members ended the night with handfuls of awards and nominations.

Team ACTRA, led by our National President Eleanor Noble was on hand to meet and congratulate our incredible members and share in a night of pride on the world class performances coming out of our country right now.

Credit to for implementing rule changes that saw the awards evolve into a truly Canadian event and in our opinion, made for the best CSA's ever! So far at least!

We congratulate all of our members who were nominees and recipients of 2026 Canadian Screen Awards.

We got the ACTRA band together at the SCAPR (Societies' Council for the Collective Management of Performers' Rights) 51st General Assembly!

As SCAPR’s main decision-making body, the General Assembly is where key decisions are taken to shape future activities and priorities as well as guiding international performers' collection management organizations such as ACTRA RACS.

Being a key part of the global community strengthens ACTRA and ACTRA RACS as we constantly strive to maximize the collection and distribution of royalties to recording artists and performers.
