The Canadian Media Guild (CMG) is a trade union representing employees at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (outside Quebec and Moncton), the Canadian Press, Reuters, Agence France-Presse, and TVOntario.

On August 15, 2005, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation locked out its 5500 members in the Canadian Media Guild. The key point of contention was the broadcaster's insistence on more term contract employees in the future while guaranteeing no change in employment status for existing employees.

The dispute lasted eight weeks and ended with both sides compromising on this point.
