The TFCA began presenting awards in 1998, and the dinner around them has grown to be a major annual event in the Canadian film calendar accompanied by a significant cash prizes, including a ($)100,000 purse, sponsored by (Rogers), for the director of the (best Canadian film).
The founding members of the TFCA—those who attended the first meeting in August 1997 at the board room of the National Film Board of Canada—were (Cameron Bailey) ((Now Magazine)), Norm Wilner (freelance), Liam Lacey ((The Globe and Mail)), Peter Howell ((Toronto Star)), (Brian D. Johnson) ((Maclean's)), Angie Baldarrasse (freelance), Marc Glassman ((Take One)), (Gemma Files) ((Eye Weekly)), and (Wyndham Wise) (Take One).
