UBCP / ACTRA

Your union office is closed on Friday, April 3 and Monday April 6. The office will re-open on Tuesday, April 7 at 9:00 AM.

Today on Transgender Day of Visibility, UBCP/ACTRA recognizes and celebrates the trans and non-binary performers, creators, and members who help shape our industry and our union. We stand in solidarity with the trans community.

Congratulations to all our members that are nominated for a Canadian Screen Awards !

UPDATE: Artificial Intelligence Casual Conversation Project

We have engaged with the local producer on this project and while they have been actively cooperating with us, they are ultimately unable to provide the information necessary to fully understand the scope of this project and cover it under a collective agreement. Therefore, we are still advising members not to work on this project.

UBCP/ACTRA strongly encourages any performer considering contributing to AI-related projects to proceed with caution and ensure they fully understand what they would be agreeing to, including any future rights over consent, control and compensation they may be asked to relinquish.

If you have any questions, please reach out to [email protected]

In solidarity,
UBCP/ACTRA

Where do your dues go?

Membership dues help power the work your union does every day: negotiating fair contracts, distributing residuals, advocating for performer protections, and supporting a strong creative community.

They also help ensure performers have a voice as our industry evolves, from protecting young performers to addressing emerging challenges like AI.

Membership dues are due on April 1.

Hate has no place in our industry.

Today we celebrated International Women’s Day by recognizing someone who truly embodies the spirit of leadership, dedication, and community.

We were proud to honour our incredible member for the many ways she has supported, uplifted, and advocated for our community over the years. Her generosity and tireless work continue to make a lasting impact on so many of us.
