Throughout the month, $1 from every transaction in the Cineplex Store will be donated to The Black Academy to develop opportunities for young and emerging Black talent in the country's entertainment industry.

The Black Academy was co-founded by Canadian actors and brothers Shamier Anderson and Stephan James to celebrate Black talent, inspire generations and combat systemic racism.

For the in-person showings at Cineplex theatres, $1 from every ticket will be donated as well.
