Durham Region
Durham Region plays an important role in Ontario's film, television, and digital media
industry with a unique mix of industrial, urban and rural locations that can be used as
sets taking place in a variety of time periods. Its proximity to the Toronto film and
television cluster, existing natural and cultural heritage assets offer the potential for a
wide range of film and television production. It is home to a robust pool of skilled
technicians and trades supported by strong technical educational institutions. A broad
range of local businesses from gas stations, contractors and building supply stores to
hotels, restaurants and retail businesses of all types provides a full range of products and
services required by the industry.
The Region offers historic buildings, rural villages, vintage sawmills, old and new
mansions, historic and modern train stations, an airport, Canada’s largest motorsport
raceway, a variety of marshes, woodlands, trails, rivers, a deep-water harbour on Lake
Ontario, and the recreational setting of Lakes Scugog and Simcoe. Having appeared in
many popular films and television series, Durham is the perfect location for your next
production.
