As the Toronto Film, Television and Digital Media Board approaches the completion of its 2019-2022 term, it is required, as a Council Advisory Committee, to submit a report on its actions and accomplishments during the term.

During the 2019 - 2022 term, the Toronto Film, Television and Digital Media Board focused its work on supporting and advising the advancement of the strategic pillars contained in Spotlight on Toronto: A Strategic Action Plan for the Film, Television and Digital Media Industry, a five-year strategy which was conceived and created in 2017 by the Toronto Film, Television and Digital Media Board, and adopted by City Council in July 2017.

In November 2021, the Toronto Film, Television and Digital Media Board initiated a review of the progress made on Spotlight on Toronto. Several new actions were added within existing strategic pillars, and the additions were approved by City Council. 

This report details the progress the Toronto Film, Television and Digital Media Board and the Toronto Film Office have made to advance each of the strategic pillars.
