Show detail Hide detail

Canadian Government Motion Picture Bureau : The Canadian Government Motion Picture Bureau (CGMPB) was created on April 1, 1923 when it was renamed from the Exhibits and Publicity Bureau. It remained in the Department of Trade and Commerce. Its main role was to take motion pictures and photographic stills to promote Canada's natural resources, industry and manufacturing as well as immigration and tourism as well as to provide film and photographic developing and printing services. It worked collaboratively with various government departments. In 1941, the film side of the Canadian Government Motion Picture Bureau merged with the National Film Board by virtue of Order-in-Council P.C. 3549 (11 June 1941) and the activities of the Still Photographic Division of CGMPB were absorbed by the Still Photography Division of the National Film Board by virtue of Order-in-Council P.C. 6047 (8 August 1941).
