Motion Picture Services
WELCOME TO THE PROVINCE'S FILM COMMISSION!

All services are provided free of charge for the benefit of both the industry and the communities in which it works. We help ensure that productions enjoy smooth and efficient operations wherever they shoot, whether an urban or wilderness location.
