… by sitting down to watch a great Canadian film!
The current swell of cultural pride has given rise to a significant increase in interest in Canadian culture. Our stories matter. Your stories matter. All of us are eager for more ways to stand up for our shared values – together, with our elbows way up.
In this atmosphere of tariffs and trade wars, we’ve seen a groundswell of interest in CanFilmDay as well – our registrations are significantly higher than last year. CanFilmDay has always been a great party, and a fun way to unite the nation through film. This year more than ever, we all need that positive energy.
The times we’re living through are challenging. But as serious as we are about fighting for our country and our culture, we also know that it’s important to embrace joy, and to gather together in celebration.
CanFilmDay is that opportunity – a moment for millions of people from coast to coast to coast to Stand Up for Canada … by sitting down to watch a great Canadian film.
We hope you’ll join us – don’t forget to share your #CanFilmDay stories on social media.
And, if you’re in Toronto, we encourage you to join our Town Hall-style event featuring Yannick Bisson, Don McKellar, Mary Walsh, and Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers (Blackfoot/Sámi). Hosted by Ali Hassan, the special guests will share the Canadian films that have impacted them and engage in a dialogue about what Canadian culture and stories mean to us.
