About Me

Active Citizens Television (ACTV) is a youth-driven media initiative to promote sustainable, low-impact living in environmentally healthy and ecologically conscious communities. A magazine style reality television show, ACTV provides citizens of Edmonton and area with the skills, knowledge, and motivation to find local solutions to environmental issues in home, garden, business and lifestyle.

We've finished our pilot, are officially a non-profit organization, and are prepping for the Banff International Television Festival in June! Wish us luck!

We're famous (sort of)! Check out a bit of our media attention (media on media...now that's news!) here and here (Ed Magazine centerfold!)
