Equity, Diversity + Inclusion

Transforming to strengthen B.C.'s motion picture industry

serving the industry with collaborative resources

 

Because of increased production activity in recent years, we know that B.C.'s below-the-line workforce must increase capacity to serve market need.

The industry, together with Creative BC's hands-on support, is committed to strengthen the industry with resources for equity, diversity and inclusion.  

As Canada's largest, full-service motion picture hub, leadership, innovation and transformation are intrinsic to the collaborative organizations that are members of the Motion Picture Production Industry Association. 

B.C.'s entire network of domestic producers, live action services, animation/VFX and post-production communities, as well as hundreds of trusted industry supply companies are engaged in individually-initiated and targeted initiatives addressing equity, diversity and inclusion training, more visible and accessible entry points for skilled individuals, and ways to participate in and strengthen this workforce.
