Canwest Alberta Legacy Fund (CALF)

The CanWest Alberta Fund (“CAF”) was established in 2007 by CanWest MediaWorks, a division of CanWest Global, as a result of CRTC Decision 2007-168. In the decision, the CRTC agreed to allow CanWest Global to extend the signal of their television station in Red Deer, Alberta, by establishing transmitters in Calgary and Edmonton, giving CanWest Global lucrative simultaneous program substitution across the entire province. As part of the CRTC decision CanWest Global agreed to support Alberta’s independent production community by financing the production of priority programming produced by Alberta production companies for any Canadian broadcaster.

That was then…The CAF fund is now over, but and the Canwest Alberta Legacy Fund  (CALF) is now in place. More detailed information on the Guidelines to the CALF and an application form can be found at www.ipf.ca
