The Slate Development Pilot Program is a pilot initiative designed to offer more flexibility to Applicants and allow them to choose and fund their English and French development Projects without the requirement of an attached Canadian Broadcaster (or other entity that can unlock CMF funding).
The Program will fund two separate pools of Eligible Applicants with two distinct processes:
- Track Record Applicants: First Come, First Served
- Alternative Access Applicants: Selective
