𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲. After close to a year of research, consultation and collaboration, the Rocket Fund is proud to launch 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗯𝗲𝗮𝗺: 𝗞𝗶𝗱𝘀’ 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮, a landmark white paper exploring what it means to put children’s rights at the forefront of Canada’s media. Led by children’s media researcher and industry veteran Kim Wilson, the white paper draws on research across industry, policy, education, technology and families to examine the future of children’s media in Canada. Project Sunbeam brings together 5 sections, 49 Key Findings, 137 Supporting Findings and 36 Recommendations that offer insights and a roadmap for action to help inform policy, industry strategy and the continued creation of Canadian stories for young audiences. Most importantly, it asks us to consider what we owe the children and young people we serve, and what we can do, together as Team Canada, to ensure their rights, voices and needs remain at the centre of the conversation. ➡️ Read Project Sunbeam and explore the findings and recommendations: https://rocketfund.ca/white-paper (link in bio!) We also invite you to share your feedback on the white paper at the link above or by emailing info@rocketfund.ca. Your perspectives and participation are essential to shaping the future of Canadian children’s and youth media. We’re all part of Team Canada. by @rocketfundcanada

🏆 News from #TIFF26: @lightning.cody's @smudgethebladesmovie claimed the Best Canadian Discovery Award! This award is given to an emerging Canadian director who has only made one or two features and includes a $10,000 cash prize. The jury members are Zarrar Kahn, Justine Pimlott and Sophy Romvari, who called the film “electric [and carrying] heart and humour in equal measure, while never shying away from the challenges faced by Indigenous communities caused by the ongoing treatment of Indigenous people and colonization of Indigenous lands.” Smudge the Blades is produced by Lightning, alongside Joshua Jackson, Kyle Thomas, Sara Corry, Hayley Morin and Dylan Morin via Lightning Mill and North Country Cinema. Congratulations on your well-deserved win! #rocketfunded @tiff_net #smudgetheblades by @rocketfundcanada

There was a time when children's television was the Canadian industry's most successful export, but the industry has collapsed,” said Christina Jennings, Shaftesbury's Chairman and President. “Our announcement today to support both Rocket Fund Canada and helping to greenlight several kids' projects, is an urgent call to action.” Agnes Augustin, Rocket Fund Canada President & CEO, said “Shaftesbury is demonstrating the kind of leadership our sector needs through its support for children's programming through its CMF Distributor Envelope and its generous contribution to Rocket Fund's operations,”. by @rocketfundcanada
