Supporting the vision of the Canadian entertainment and media community

"We celebrate the acheivement of artists who have taken risks to realize their vision." — John Simcoe, PwC partner

PwC’s Entertainment & Media team works closely with the industry players across sectors and geographies. We also participate in the most prestigious industry events which gives us the opportunity to share thinking around the opportunities and challenges facing entertainment and media companies.

As the official ballot accountants for the Gemini, Genie and JUNO awards, PwC knows firsthand that these awards are an important opportunity not just to celebrate, but to recognize the passion, integrity and vision that have propelled the Canadian arts community to a leadership position on the world stage.
