WE ARE HERE TO HELP
The Canadian Picture Pioneers (CPP) has been helping movie theatre exhibitor and distributor employees across Canada for 80 years. The current COVID-19 health crisis has resulted in the closing of theatres and industry offices. In response, the CPP has developed a new one-time assistance program to help.
This new special assistance program is for currently laid-off employees from Canadian exhibition or distribution companies.

Depuis 80 ans, les Canadian Picture Pioneers (CPP) aident les employés des exploitants de salles de cinéma et des distributeurs à travers le Canada. La crise sanitaire actuelle de COVID-19 a entraîné la fermeture de salles de cinéma et de bureaux de l'industrie. En réponse à cette situation, le CPP a mis au point un nouveau programme d'aide ponctuelle.
Ce nouveau programme d'aide spéciale s'adresse aux employés actuellement licenciés dans notre industrie canadienne d’exploitants et compagnies de distribution.
