First time for event in Alberta (Calgary, AB) — The Gemini
Awards are coming to Calgary in November. The Academy of Canadian
Cinema & Television (ACCT) along with broadcast partner, Canwest,
the Government of Alberta, Tourism Calgary and Calgary Economic
Development today announced Calgary, Alberta as the Host City for The
Gemini Awards to be held Saturday, November 14, 2009. The Gemini Awards
will be produced by Calgary-based production company Joe Media Group
and broadcast nationwide on Global and Showcase.
Each year, a different city hosts the Awards. While the Geminis have
been hosted by other western Canadian cities like Regina and Vancouver,
this is the first time the event has been held in Alberta.
“The Geminis represent the national scope of English-language
television” said Sara Morton, CEO of ACCT. “Calgary is a hotbed of film
and television production and continues to attract major productions.
We couldn’t ask for a better setting for an event that celebrates the
best and brightest in Canada’s television industry.”
"Come November, the eyes of the country will be on Calgary and on
Alberta," said Lindsay Blackett, Minister of Alberta Culture and
Community Spirit. "The Geminis will not only help to promote our
province as a cultural tourism destination, but will showcase the
wealth of talent and expertise of Alberta’s television production
community.”
“It’s a great opportunity for Calgary to host the 2009 Gemini Awards,
in celebration of Canada’s excellence in television production,” said
Luke Azevedo, Commissioner, Film, Television and Creative industries
with Calgary Economic Development. “We look forward to welcoming our
Canadian television colleagues and showcasing our city to the nation.”
The Gemini Awards represents one more significant addition to Calgary’s calendar of events in 2009.
“Event tourism is so important to our industry,” said Marco De Iaco,
Vice President of Sport, Culture and Major Events at Tourism Calgary.
“When other segments of the market are hurting during these challenging
economic times, major sport and cultural events can have a stabilizing
effect on the industry that’s pretty significant.”
Canwest is broadcasting the Gemini Awards for the second year running.
“Canwest is proud to once again be the broadcast partner for the Gemini
Awards,” said Christine Shipton, Senior Vice President of Drama and
Factual Content, Canwest Broadcasting. “We are a long-standing
supporter of Canadian television and look forward to delivering to our
audience a hugely entertaining show from Calgary.”
The venue and broadcast timeslot for the 2009 Gemini Awards will be announced in the coming months.
