Film & Television Industry
Productions filming in North Bay, located only 3.5 hours north of Toronto, have access to Northern Ontario Specific Incentives, Higher Provincial Tax Credits and Federal Tax Credits. With numerous smaller rural communities only a short distance away and three nearby access points to Algonquin Park and various rivers and waterways within City limits urban film sequences can easily be combined with shots from the outdoors.
We have a wide range of cost-effective accommodation and food service options as well as rental services to support filming. Our local talent pool of enthusiastic extras stem from our active theatre groups and performing arts community who often take centre stage at our 1,100 seat Arts Centre. North Bay has a selection of office, industrial/warehouse space to accommodate productions offices, set construction and interior filming.
The City of North Bay recognizes unique needs of the industry as well as the important economic and social impact film and television projects have on the community. The Mayor’s Office of Economic Development will work with your team to help make filming your next production in North Bay a reality.
