In addition to being the year of Canada's 100th birthday celebrations, 1967 was the year that the Canadian Film Development Corporation was created. The corporation, later named Telefilm Canada, became the administrative body of a new $10 million fund established to assist Canadian feature film production.
This year also saw the beginning of a thorough reorganization of the CFAs. Recognizing that the current structure was not fulfilling the needs of the industry, the CFA joined with other organizations to form the Council of Canadian Film Organizations; its mandate was to explore the feasibility of establishing a Canadian Film Academy. In the interim, the 19th awards competition, which received 78 entries, was modified, with some categories dropped and others consolidated.
