Last Call to Register for Consultation on Proposed Changes to CAPPRT Procedural Regulations

The Canada Industrial Relations Board is holding a consultation session in Vancouver regarding proposed amendments to the Canadian Artists and Producers Professional Relations Tribunal Procedural Regulations (the Regulations).

The Board is in the process of reviewing the Regulations in order to ensure better alignment of the policies, procedures and practices under the Status of the Artist Act with the Board’s current practices, while taking into account the unique circumstances of the cultural sector. Those interested in attending are encouraged to review the Consultation Chart posted on the Board's Website.
