The Canadian Screen Awards has a new date and venue.
The Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television has pushed the dates for the country’s equivalent of the Oscars and Emmys combined to May 28-31 in Toronto.
The change for the CSAs, from an initial April 7-14 schedule, followed the prize-giving taking place as a virtual event every year since 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. That is, until last year’s Canadian Screen Week, which was held at Toronto’s Meridian Hall from April 11-14.
“Due to venue availability in Toronto, we have made the decision to move Canadian Screen Week 2024 to May,” Tammy Frick, CEO of the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television, said in a statement on Thursday.
This year’s CSAs will be held at the CBC Broadcast Centre in Toronto, the headquarter of the public broadcaster set to air the final-night awards giving on May 31.
