Telefilm Canada today released its Annual Report for fiscal 2025-2026. This fiscal year marked the second year of the 2024-2027 strategic plan, Together, For a Lasting Impact. This year, we continued to advance our strategic priorities and take concrete action to strengthen Telefilm’s impact, promote Canadian and Indigenous talent, and further develop an approach increasingly informed by data and audience insights.

Telefilm will also hold its Annual Public Assembly virtually on December 3 (details below). At the event, Julie Roy, Executive Director and CEO, and Sylvain Lafrance, Chair of the Board of Directors, will discuss achievements from the past year and priorities for the future.
