Notice To Book An Interview

(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 11/02/11 -- Canadian stars are heading to Ottawa for a two-day lobbying blitz for meetings with Members of Parliament and Senators on November 2 & 3. Performers will be speaking to MPs about the contribution Canadian content creation makes to our culture and the digital economy through jobs and innovation.

ACTRA National President Ferne Downey will be joined by Canadian performers from coast-to-coast, including: Peter Keleghan (18 to Life, Murdoch Mysteries), Fiona Reid (Stoked, One Week), Angela Asher (18 to Life), Leah Pinsent (ReGenesis, Made in Canada), Jackson Davies (Beachcombers), Grace Lynn Kung (InSecurity) and more!
