General recommendations from the Board for 2006-2007

The Board of Directors recommends: to prioritize lobby-related activities, to work for preserving and increasing documentary’s acquired benefits, to pursue national consultations, to convince the Canadian government of protecting educational networks such as Télé-Québec, TVOntario and the diversity of genres, and to implement a five-year Canadian program for supporting feature-length documentaries intended for theatrical release.

Furthermore, the Documentary Network plans to work towards the creation of alliances with English Canadian associations to unify our voices; to plan an annual event within the frame of Hot Docs in order to promote the Documentary Network in English Canada; to ensure a better presence for documentaries in the media.

The Documentary Network also wishes to develop its website; to have a study made regarding the creation of a Documentary Portal; to create a committee for technological awareness; to publish a biannual bulletin to keep the public and the member organizations informed of its activities — so that these, in turn, can at the same time inform their individual members.
