CITT RENDEZ-VOUS HITS THE YUKON

Each year in mid-August, the Canadian Institute for Theatre Technology (CITT) hosts Rendez-Vous, a three-day conference consisting of education sessions, panel discussions, workshops, backstage tours, trade show, social events, and networking opportunities. The location varies from year to year to allow members from different regions of Canada to more easily attend. For the first time ever, Rendez-Vous was held this year in Whitehorse, Yukon Territories. The main conference took place from August 14-16, though there were also pre- and post-conference events scheduled. The IATSE was there in force, with International Vice President John Lewis, International Representatives Jim Brett and Jason Vergnano, and representatives from IATSE local unions all across Canada – some of whom were there as panelists or trainers. With sessions covering Scenic Lighting, Preservation of Costumes: Do Museum Professionals Have Useful Advice for the Theatre?, and Boomers, Gen X, and Millennials - Workplace Generational Conflict Demystified, there was something for everyone.

CONTINUING ORGANIZING MEMBERSHIP EDUCATION TRAINING Following the last Convention’s theme that Growth=Strength, many Locals were inspired to organize the unrepresented workers in their various jurisdictions. Sadly, sometimes the biggest impediment to organizing comes from the misconceptions and fears we have as union members. COMET Training is a 2.5-hour course explaining why every member of the IATSE benefits from organizing. It is interactive and fun and tailored to each individual Local. The class clears up those misconceptions and fears so Locals can strengthen and grow. If interested in more information please email [email protected]

106 OFFICIAL BULLETIN “Just Ask” Federal Election Campaign

CALLING Going into this fall’s federal election, the I.A.T.S.E has partnered with the DGC ALL (Directors’ Guild of Canada), and ACTRA (Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television CANADIAN and Radio Artists) on a member engagement campaign called Just Ask (ou Je m’implique, en français). The goal is getting members — people who make their

MEMBERS! living in the arts & culture sector — out to campaign events such as local candi-

dates’ debates, and having them ask the candidates key questions about issues

facing our industry. Members are being asked to pledge to attend at least one

town hall or all-candidates meeting and ask at least one question. The questions

are listed on the Just Ask / Je m’implique website, and interested members can

sign up there to participate.

Last year, the Canadian film sector created over 179,000 FTE (full-time equiva-

lent) jobs. That’s a significant number, and doesn’t take into account the thousands

of jobs across the live performance sector. Entertainment is big business for Can-

ada — bigger than agriculture or forestry — and we need to ensure that our elected

representatives understand and

support the industry. That’s really

what this campaign is all about.

Interested members can sign up,
