Commitment to Inclusion and Diversity

Insight Productions, in collaboration with The Black Academy, has launched The Black Academy Skills Development Program, reaffirming its commitment to fostering diversity and inclusivity within the screen industry. This program provides Black Canadians with tailored, practical training in various industry sectors, supported by the payment of industry-standard wages to eliminate financial barriers, thereby promoting greater accessibility. Participants not only receive education but also engage directly in significant productions, earning on-screen credits for their contributions to prominent shows such as The Legacy Awards, Canada’s Ultimate Challenge and The Amazing Race Canada. Such initiatives underscore Insight’s dedication to cultivating a screen industry that celebrates and embraces diversity. Details about the program are available at the Black Academy’s Skills Development Program website.
