Photo Opportunity / Media Advisory - Cinespace Kleinburg Film Studios to host 50-year reunion for cast and crew of "The Forest Rangers"


TORONTO, June 12, 2013 /CNW/ - On Saturday, June 15(th), 2013, Cinespace Film Studios will be hosting at its historic Kleinburg
Studios a 50-year anniversary celebration and reunion for the first
colour TV series ever produced in Canada, "The Forest Rangers".



Original cast members, including Gordon Pinsent, crew and fans from over
12 countries will be converging at Cinespace Kleinburg Studios to
celebrate and remember one of the most successful TV series in Canadian
history, which ran from 1963-1966 and achieved foreign sales in over 60
countries at the time.  The show was actually produced on-site in
Kleinburg, Ontario, in and around the studio facility originally built
by the CBC but now operated by Cinespace.



Cinespace Film Studios, celebrating its 25(th) year in 2013, is North America's largest owner and operator of film and
television production space. Having hosted numerous domestic television
projects over its history, including "Road to Avonlea", "Life With
Derek", "Flashpoint" and "Murdoch Mysteries", Cinespace was eager to
sponsor this event for The Forest Rangers.



"This series, like the many others we were privileged to host inside our
studio facilities, helped to build Canada's domestic television
industry.   The producers, the cast and the crew deserve our thanks and
our recognition, so we are honoured to host this event and celebrate
this iconic show together, in the beautifully green and lush Kleinburg
forest, where it all began", remarked Steve Mirkopoulos, President and
CEO of Cinespace Film Studios.  Also at the event will be
representatives of the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority,
paying tribute to the conservation and sustainability themes of the
show, and with proceeds from the day's fundraising initiatives to
support TRCA programs.
