The1st ACTRA Awards were presented on April 14, 1972 to honour achievements inCanadian television in 1971.[1] As the first time that dedicated Canadian television awards had been presented by theAlliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists separately from the inclusion of television films in theCanadian Film Awards program, they were a modest affair, with presentations in just two competitive categories, one for acting and one for journalism, and a lifetime achievement award for contributions to Canadian broadcasting.[2]
The program was expanded to seven categories for the2nd ACTRA Awards in 1973.[3]
The ceremony was hosted byPierre Berton, who was himself the winner of the journalism award.
