Welcome to ACTRA Alberta
Lockout of ACTRA performers by some advertising agencies
For months, some advertising agencies have locked-out ACTRA performers who make commercials. Our performances made award-winning ads that got results—just as we’ve done for more than 60 years under a collective agreement these agencies tried to kill. But we’re fighting back and the agencies are feeling they’ve acted on bad advice.
What's shooting in Alberta
Alberta’s film, television and digital media industry supports rural economic development, promotes tourism, employs thousands of Albertans and brings diversity to Alberta’s economy.
