ACTORS' FUND OF CANADA REBRANDS AS THE AFC
------------------------------

As of February 1, 2016 the organization previously known as the Actors’ Fund
of Canada will simply be called The AFC. “We’re rebranding as The AFC to be
more inclusive,” says Fiona Reid, award-winning actor and President of the
Board of Directors. “The AFC was founded by actors with a mandate to provide
emergency financial assistance to all who work professionally in the arts
and entertainment industry. It’s for everyone working in all aspects of
film, television, theatre, music and dance when illness, injury or other
personal or professional hardship has compromised their health, housing or
ability to work,” says Reid. The AFC is the lifeline for Canada’s
entertainment industry.

The AFC assists more than 200 Canadian entertainment professionals and their
families each year and has provided financial assistance to over 12,000
professionals across Canada since it was founded in 1958. The AFC provides
over $500,000 a year in compassionate aid to Canadian entertainment
professionals helping them maintain their health, dignity and ability to
work.

Equity is proud to be a key supporter of The AFC.
