The mandate of Cultural Industries Ontario North (CION) is to stimulate and promote Northern Ontario’s film, television and music industries, as well as provide educational programs to foster the advancement of our region’s emerging talent.
With a population of nearly 800,000, millions of hectares of forest and six major cities ready to host film productions, Northern Ontario is a thriving cultural destination that balances urban life with relaxing respite. We’re here to connect and support local and international creators who want to discover what the North has to offer.
If you’re a film producer looking to take advantage of the growing resources and financial benefits of Northern Ontario, our ‘Producer’s Guide’ is exactly what you’re looking for.
