Film and TV production was big business for the province last year and North Bay had an impact.

The province says a record $2.16 billion in film and television production in 2019 supported 44,540 full-time equivalent direct and spin-off jobs.

An industry official says North Bay played a starring role in the provincial success, with productions like Cardinal contributing to the record expenditure in Ontario.

The city is still waiting on some production stats for 2019, but they say the year before saw an estimated $13 million in economic impact for North Bay.

That included 177 filming days.
