What it does
This program provides educators and students across Canada with access to National Film Board films and related content. The program promotes the development of engaged citizens, nurtures our democratic processes and creates a positive impact across generations of Canadians. It contributes to building bridges between cultures, promotes social equity and helps Canadians to not only navigate a constantly changing world, but also to improve it. A respected and trusted source of media in Canada, the National Film Board of Canada is both regional and national; non-commercial, multilingual, socially and environmentally responsible; rooted in equity, diversity and inclusion; and steeped in a broad, rich range of perspectives.
