How Equity is governed


Governance Policy # 8 - Council Committee Structure identifies committees of Council. See Council's Policy Governance Document for more information.

Council committees include:
The Honours Committee selects honourees for the Larry McCance Award, Honorary Membership and Life Membership awarded annually.

There are nine geographic-based Council Policy Advisory Groups (CPAGs) and four additional CPAGs representing members working in opera (split east and west), in dance (national) and as stage managers (national). See Regions for additional CPAG information.

The ITRC Committee is charged with the responsibility to acquire data from a representative cross-section of the Equity membership (as owners), and to present this information on the future of engagement opportunity within the scope of independent theatrical endeavour below the scale covered by the Canadian Theatre Agreement and the Independent Theatre Agreement to Council.

Insurance Committee
The Insurance Committee's product is to provide Council with decision-making information on future Ends policy addressing accident, illness and disability benefits. The Committee will acquire data from a representative cross-section of the membership:
  • as owners, detailing what insurance and benefits they believe should be offered by Equity; and

  • as customers, who will potentially access the benefits, including the needs and cost factors that would affect their decision to participate.

  • The timeline for completing the work of the Committee shall be June 2011 Council, with an interim report due by October 2010 Council.
    To contact the Insurance Committee email Allan Teichman, Equity President.
