Times are good right now as far as North Bay being seen as a place to shoot movies and tv shows.

A City Councillor wants that to continue.

Mike Anthony‘s motion to call on the province for stable provincial funding was approved by his fellow councillors this week.

He says the funding is good right now but he wants to keep it that way so producers want to come here.

He says the funding is in place for this year and applications are in for next year and beyond.

But he says there might be an impact if that funding dries up.

Anthony says there’s a lot of good things happening right now in terms of jobs and economic benefits.

He says the motion goes to the government, opposition leaders and municipalities both in the area and in other northern centres like Sudbury and Thunder Bay.
