<David Cronenberg Honoured at 2014 Canadian Screen Awards>

(March 10, 2014 - Toronto, Ontario) Some might say it was a long time coming. David Cronenberg himself, however, seemed almost uncomfortable; a reluctant hero in a carefully orchestrated pageant designed to honour one of Canada's most successful and productive directors. That was the scene last night both on stage and later in the media room in behind-the-scenes comments the renowned director made about his Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2014 Canadian Screen Awards.

	(March 10, 2014 - Toronto, Ontario) The third and final awards night for the 2014 Canadian Screen Awards wrapped last night in an elaborate, star-studded event held at Toronto's massive Sony Centre. For the 2nd annual awards gala the media came out in force and although CBC had the official broadcast rights to the show itself, all other major networks were there, along with hoards of media from radio, print and the Internet. "Tonight we gather in the company of our country’s brightest and most glamorous talent to celebrate the best in Canadian film and television,” said Martin Katz, Academy Chair. "I am honoured to celebrate and applaud this year’s outstanding nominees and winners. Their work brings us together, around screens big and small, enriching our communities through story," he said.
	(March 6, 2014 - Toronto, Ontario) ACTRA, which represents the interests of 22,000 members across Canada, has turned the spotlight on Jean Freeman, naming the Saskatchewan-born actor 2014's Woman of the Year. Each year ACTRA’s Women’s Committee bestows this honour on a woman who has shone both in her artistic and advocacy achievements. "After 47 gratifying and rewarding years as a member of ACTRA, this honour is definitely the high point of all we’ve been through together," said Freeman, pictured as the Mayor’s grandmother on the hit CTV series Corner Gas. “As my friends in Dog River might say, ‘It’s like lightning in a bottle - or maybe a jam jar!’”
