PACT is a national arts service organization serving over 160 member companies, of various sizes, from coast to coast to coast.
They offer programming and professional development for both artistic staff and arts adminstrators; they also have various caucuses where our members can connect with their peers, share knowledge and discuss the topic of the day.
They are highly engaged in federal advocacy, and work with partners in the Department of Canadian Heritage, Office of the Minister of Canadian Heritage and the Canada Council to relay the concerns of our members and provide information used in crafting policy.
They negotiate with partner organizations such as Canadian Actors’ Equity Association to craft the Canadian Theatre Agreement, as well as with the Associated Designers of Canada and Playwrights’ Guild of Canada to formulated various labour agreements.
