How Talented Creatives and Businesses From Ontario Help Us Entertain the World

Ontario is home to a world-class community of creatives and businesses who play a vital role in the entertainment industry. The province’s exceptional talent contributes at every step of production, helping stories come to life right here in Ontario.

While Ontario is often recognized as the backdrop for countless series and films, its local businesses keep productions running seamlessly behind the scenes. In Toronto, David Mintz Catering ensures cast and crew are fuelled during busy filming days, while Toronto’s Movie Armaments Group provides custom-designed props that make every scene feel true to its era. These companies work closely with production teams, offering specialized skills and local expertise.

Ontario’s creatives are also playing a significant role. Natalie Nelson, based in Toronto, led the hair department on Grand Army, and Emmy®-winning costume designer Debra Hanson brought her creative vision to North of North. These talented professionals are just a few examples of Ontarians influencing the look and feel of our shows and movies to ensure every character and story connects with members.

The reputation and impact of Ontario’s filmmaking community goes far beyond Canada. We’re proud to celebrate the contributions of these businesses and creatives.
