member access

Members, including National Access program participants, may book the editing rooms on a first-come-first-served basis for use at any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days per week, with the exception of time periods reserved by the facility. Non-members may book and/ or use editing rooms only during office hours.

Bookings may be made on-line (members only), in person or by telephone.

Please bear in mind that there are no technical staff members working at CSV after offices hours. If you are an inexperienced editor who wants to work after hours or who needs substantial assistance during the day, you may wish to inquire about hiring our in-house or freelance editors.

Members seeking to use the facility after hours must purchase an access card ($25) and front door key and be issued an alarm code.

The CSV office is open Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., inclusive.

Accessibility

Charles Street Video is located on the second floor of Toronto Media Arts Centre.
The main entrance into the building is on the north side of the building, opening up onto Lisgar Park. The park is accessible from all sides via gently sloping ramp, but is mostly level with the sidewalk. The park is mostly flat, obstacle-free concrete. The doorway into TMAC is on the far left (east side of building facing the north).
This door is open from 10am to 5pm from Monday to Friday or during scheduled TMAC events.

CSV also has a separate entrance on the east side of the building for gear pick up. There are 3 sets of stairs leading up to the door. To come through this entrance call 416-603-6564 and someone will let you in. They are otherwise locked.

All of the doors open by pushing inward, not pulling. None of the doors are powered. If you require assistance with the door, please let us know ahead of time and we will meet you.

All events and offices at TMAC are located on the second and third floors, accessible via an elevator just inside the entrance. Interior galleries and event spaces are barrier-free.
