UBCP/ACTRA Unveils 2025 Award Recipients

UBCP/ACTRA has announced the recipients of the 2025 UBCP/ACTRA Awards, which were presented this year without a live ceremony. The annual awards recognize performers across British Columbia and the Yukon, with categories covering lead and supporting performances in motion pictures, series, and made-for-TV movies, as well as short performance, voice performance, and stunt performance.

Union president Keith Martin Gordey noted that while this year’s format changed, the awards continue to highlight the range of work created by UBCP/ACTRA members. The union also named Christine Willes as the 2025 recipient of the Lorena Gale Woman of Distinction Award, citing her contributions as an artist, mentor, and advocate.

A private gathering will be held on December 10 at the UBCP/ACTRA offices to recognize this year’s honorees.
