Who We Are

For over 80 years, the Canadian Picture Pioneers (CPP) has stood as the longest-serving charity in the nation’s film industry. We function as a vital community support network, dedicated to the well-being of all industry professionals and those in the wider community across Canada.

We bring the industry together through high-energy national and regional networking events. These events drive the essential fundraising required to sustain our financial assistance programs for industry employees facing hardship.

Our mission is funded entirely by the generosity of our members and partners. To date, the CPP has provided over $4 million in total charitable assistance, ensuring our colleagues have the support they need when it matters most.
