The Audio-Visual Preservation Trust of Canada (or the AV Trust). originally the Alliance for the Preservation of Canada's Audio-Visual Heritage,[1]: 4 was a charitable non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the preservation of Canada's audiovisual heritage, and to facilitating access to regional and national collections through partnerships with members of Canada's audiovisual community.
In 2008, the Conservative government eliminated CA$300,000 in funding for the Trust,[2][3] leading to its merger with the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television in 2009–10.[1]: 4–5
