INTRODUCING UNIMA AND UNIMA CANADA
UNIMA (UNion Internationale de la MArionnette) is a Non-Governmental Organization affiliated with UNESCO bringing together people from around the world who contribute to the development of the art of puppetry with the objective of using this art in the pursuit of human values such as peace and mutual understanding between peoples regardless of race, political or religious convictions, or differences in culture, in accordance with the respect for fundamental human rights as defined in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights of December 10th 1948.
UNIMA exists to promote the art of the puppet by
1. Stimulating, via all means of communication, contact and exchange between every continent and nation
2. Organizing or granting UNIMA patronage for congresses, conferences, festivals, exhibitions and competitions
3. Encouraging professional training
4. Broadening historical, theoretical and scientific research
5. Maintaining the traditions of puppetry while encouraging the art of puppetry
6. Proposing the use of the puppet as a medium of ethical and aesthetic education
7, Participating in the work of other organizations with similar aims.
8. Helping UNIMA members in the exercise of their democratic rights within the framework of their professional activity.
A Brief History of UNIMA-Canada
UNIMA-Canada began as an English Language organization and formally received its charter from UNIMA-International in 1969. It had members in almost every province from coast to coast . In 1985 UNIMA-Canada sadly, closed down. In 1986, through the efforts of a very active Association Quebecoise des Marionnettistes, Quebec was recognized as the UNIMA Centre for Canada. It has existed as UNIMA Canada (Que) ever since.
During the past several years there has been an increasing interest by other Canadian puppeteers in creating a second section 0and steps were taken to create UNIMA Canada as an adjunct of the Ontario Puppetry Association in the same way that
UNIMA Canada (Que) has been an adjunct to the Association Quebecoise des Marionnettistes. The UNIMA by-laws declare that each country can have only one National Centre but can have more than one section. Our National Centre is in Montreal.
Paid-up members of the Ontario Puppetry Association or any other recognized Canadian puppetry company, guild or association are eligible to join UNIMA-Canada (Ont.) Through joining you will have contact with and news of puppeteers, companies and festivals from many other countries and cultures. This will be accomplished through UNIMA-Canada publications, websites and e-mail. Many Canadian puppeteers have discovered through UNIMA the wonderful broadening experience of visiting and performing in other countries.

I look forward to hearing from you
