This decision to close our office was a difficult one to make, with many factors influencing this decision: a changing industry, with payroll companies starting to push direct deposit, and issues of personal safety. Without getting into too many details, I had two recent scary experiences involving an intruder, where the police needed to be involved. Thankfully no one was hurt, and I was not by myself either time (I have so much love for the performers who were with me during these experiences) but the safety of myself, all staff and all background performers has become and continues to be my top priority.

Effective immediately, the J Talent office at 1594 Queen Street East will be closed for drop-in hours and registrations. We will take March and April to settle all office business, including cheque & T4A pickup/mailout, selling all furniture, etc, and the space will be officially closed as of May 1st.

Any background performers who have any cheques remaining at the office will receive a separate email with instructions - we will be open for appointments only for March and April (cheque pick-up, commission payments, saying hello/goodbye).

I am so thankful for the three years I had this office and all that it allowed me to do for J Talent. For now, I ask for your patience as we begin the transition to the new J Talent Agency. Please rest assured - our booking process will remain the same - always as personable as can be! It is only registrations and commission payments that will be affected, and we are exploring options to keep our process as personal and thorough as possible. J Talent prides itself on working differently, which we will always continue to do.

Thank you ALL in advance for your continued support, your well wishes, and for respecting this difficult decision. Please also respect my decision not to discuss this further - I have taken time to explore all options, and I feel good about the decision to no longer have a physical office (as much as it pains me to no longer offer in person registrations).

We look forward to a busy 2024 with all of you!
