[CAEA e-drive]

----------------------------------------------------- 
2011 - 2012 NATIONAL ARTS CENTRE SPECIAL EVENTS AGREEMENT RENEWAL UP FOR 
RATIFICATION BY EQUITY MEMBERSHIP 
------------------------------------------------------ 

Equity has successfully reached a tentative deal with the National Arts Centre for a one-year renewal of the National Arts Centre Special Events Agreement (NACSEA).

The proposed fee changes are now subject to ratification by the affected Equity membership. Pending a successful ratification, the current Agreement will be renewed until August 31, 2012 with a 1.5% increase to all minimum rates, fees and other monetary amounts.

Ratification packages, including a ratification ballot and a copy of the proposed fee increases to the 2011 - 2012 NACSEA, together with a explanatory letter, have now been mailed to Equity members in good standing who worked under the NACSEA during the 2007-2011 term.

Any eligible voter who does not receive a ballot by Wednesday, September 14, 2011 is encouraged to contact Equity's National Office for assistance.

In order to be sure your ballot is received in time to be counted, mail your completed ballot not later than Wednesday, September 28, 2011. Only ballots received in Equity's National Office prior to 5:00 p.m. ET on Thursday, October 13, 2011 will be counted.

Results will be announced as soon as possible after the ballot count on Friday, October 14, 2011.
