Background


As of 2012, the Academy's primary national awards program is the Canadian Screen Awards, which were announced in 2012 as a replacement for the formerly distinct Genie Award and Gemini Award ceremonies. The Prix Gémeaux for French-language television remains a separate awards program.[3][4]


The current chief executive officer is Beth Janson,[5] and the chair of the board is Martin Katz.[6] The organization's previous CEO was Helga Stephenson, who announced that she was stepping down in April 2016.[7][8]
