On September 13, 2009, CFC saw over 1500 attendees come through its gates for the CFC Annual BBQ.  With weather on our side, we raised just under $200,000 in support of our various training programs.  Thank you to all of our donors, suppliers and volunteers for helping us make the BBQ another outstanding success!

CFC founder and Chair Emeritus Norman Jewison, played host to a slew of both Canadian and International talent in celebrating 20 years of industry support that has enabled Canada’s talent to creatively shine both nationally and internationally.

Since 1988 the CFC Annual BBQ has provided a relaxing environment for visiting Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) Canadian and international professionals to network and make business deals.  While it has grown to achieve a high level of awareness within the film and entertainment industries, it is also one of the CFC’s most important fundraising initiatives.  Last year the Barbeque raised over $250,000 for the CFC’s training programs in film, television and new media.
