Subject: Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2025-201 – TELUS Fund condition for meeting CIPF eligibility
Leah Camenzind,
Thank you for your letter sent 6 October 2025 regarding the TELUS Fund’s commitment to establishing a dedicated permanent allocation of funding to official language minority communities (OLMCs) and producers from diverse communities.
I acknowledge the receipt of the documents you filed in response to Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2025-201 (the Decision). I note your commitment to allocate 10 percent of overall revenues to this permanent envelope with equal portions dedicated to OLMC producers and producers from diverse communities.
Based on the commitments outlined in your letter, Commission staff is of the view that the TELUS Fund has met the requirements set out in Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2025-201. Accordingly, the Fund will be added to the list of Certified Independent Production Funds (CIPFs) eligible to receive contributions from audio-visual online undertakings pursuant to the broadcasting regulatory policy 2024-121. This eligibility is effective as of the date of this letter.
Please note that this letter and all related correspondence will be posted on the Commission’s website to be available for public examination.
Yours sincerely,
Original signed by
Michael Craig
Director, Audiovisual Programming & Distribution
