Media Report Dec December 10 - 12, 2018 MEDIA Toronto Global Forum REPORT Media Report Dec. 10 – 12, 2018 Toronto Global Forum Contents Media Analysis .................................................................................................. 3 Sources 3 Topics and Tone 4 Media Turnout and Pre-Booked Media Availabilities 4 Annex ................................................................................................................ 5 Annex 1: Accredited Media 5 Annex 2: Total Media Coverage 6 2 Media Report Dec. 10 – 12, 2018 Toronto Global Forum MEDIA ANALYSIS Sources This year, we tracked 112 unique news articles and broadcast stories featuring the Toronto Global Forum. These stories were distributed through 381 individual news outlets. Including reprints in multiple outlets, a total of 649 articles were published or broadcast on this event, reaching a total audience of 336,172,873 readers. This is an 11% increase from 2017’s total of 303,418,760 million readers. Media Coverage by Type The trend of steady coverage growth year-over-year continues despite the difficulty to properly track Broadcast some articles, given media tools’ inability to properly 6% Print identify stories in other languages and from foreign 12% countries. The majority of news coverage was hosted online: 82% of the coverage was web-based (totaling 531 articles.) Print articles represented 12% of the coverage (75) and were often reprinted online. We were only able to track 43 broadcast stories totalling only 6% of coverage. The low broadcast coverage Online numbers can be attributed to continued changes in 82% Canadian broadcasting that see a shift away from sending shows to conduct onsite interviews. A total of 381 media outlets covered the event and articles were published in 23 countries. Media Coverage: Country Reach Articles published in 23 countries and 5 continents 3 Media Report Dec. 10 – 12, 2018 Toronto Global Forum Topics and Tone Press coverage for the 2018 edition of the Toronto Global Forum was generally positive. Once again, coverage focused on themes related to the global economy, trade issues, and international politics. Key participants who generated the most significant media attention were: • John Chen, executive chairman and chief executive officer of BlackBerry Ltd. • Doug Ford, Premier, Ontario • Chrystia Freeland, Minister of International Trade, Canada • John McFarlane, group chairman, Barclays • Jean-Henry Céant, Prime Minister, Haiti Media Turnout and Pre-Booked Media Availabilities This year, 143 journalists, representing 76 media outlets, were accredited to the Toronto Global Forum. It is a significant jump from last year’s participation of 104 journalists from 51 media outlets. BNN filmed on site all three days, producing 5 interviews at the conference. Once again, Global Public Affairs worked with the International Economic Forum of the Americas in advance of the Forum to connect partners interested in doing media with targeted journalists. There were 27 one-on-one interviews were booked between partners and journalists over the course of the Forum. Most of these interviews were in person, on-site at the Forum, and we also coordinated with one speaker to go to nearby TV and radio studios for interviews. In addition, Global Public Affairs worked with partners to coordinate one press conference over the course of the event. The Toronto Global Forum continues to be an excellent opportunity for partners to increase their visibility, leverage their expertise on a topic, make an announcement, or simply positively position their organization in relation to a key issue discussed during the event. 4 Media Report Dec. 10 – 12, 2018 Toronto Global Forum ANNEX Annex 1: Accredited Media Below is the list of 76 accredited media outlets in alphabetical order. 680 News La Press Canadienne Alternative Food Network La Voix de Centre (Cameroon) Associated Press Maclean’s B2B News Network Manilla Times Bloomberg News Media in Toronto Bloomgberg TV Media Q BNN/Business News Network National Ethnic Press BNN/Business News Network – Business Day National Observer Canadian Press National Post Cannabis Daily New Tang Dynasty Catalyst, The NewsTalk 1010 CBC News Notimex (Mexico news agency) CHCH Northern Miner China News Service Now Magazine CityTV NRG Expert Correo Canadiense Omni News CP24 Ondas Hispanas CTV News Politico Direction M9 Medias PR in Canada EFE News Queen’s Park Briefing Epoch Times Queen’s Park Press Etcetal Media ReNew Magazine Euro Canada News Reuters European Club of Canada Senegal Press Infos Financial Post Sportsnet Financial Times Swift Business Forum Global News TFO Globe and Mail, The The Local Globe and Mail: Report on Business Toronto Star Globe Investor Toronto Sun GONIEC, the Polish Canadian Weekly TVO: The Agenda Guardian, The UNO International News Service Haiti/VO Wall Street Journal Hill Times Waterfront Toronto Huffington Post Worth Magazine ICI Radio-Canada Wall Street Journal iPolitics Yahoo Canada Journal Guinenne 5 Media Report Dec. 10 – 12, 2018 Toronto Global Forum Annex 2: Total Media Coverage Media Coverage by Type Print articles 75 Web 531 Television & Radio 43 Unique articles 112 Total articles (including reprints) 649 Total reach 336,172,873 Media Date Type Media Outlet Title Also appeared in/at: Reach Language 28- Online Hilltimes.com Trudeau off to G20, 45,015,000 English Nov USMCA signing this week 05- Online Hilltimes.com First ministers, 15,000 English Dec Indigenous leaders to meet Friday in Montreal 07- Television BNN Bloomberg The Week Ahead: Brexit 195,000 English Dec / Online plan vote; Costco, Empire earnings BNNbloomberg.ca 404,000 English 07- Online BNN Bloomberg Live video 250,000 English Dec 07- Online Benzinga.com Media Advisory - Minister 21,000 English Dec Bains to speak on Canada's leadership in the innovation economy at Toronto Global Forum AsiaPacific.ca 1,000 English Lelezard.com 8,000 English 07- Online ManitobaPulse.

Mackenzie Stonehocker, a member of the Driftwood Village co-housing group in North Vancouver, explained that because a co-housing unit typically costs the same as any home in a city, people can find affordability a problem. Subscribe to The Star for just 99¢ for your first month Subscribe Now Mackenzie Stonehocker, a member of the Driftwood Village co-housing community in North Vancouver, acknowledges the financial barrier to purchasing a unit in such a community can be high. But, she says, the benefits that come from working closely and patiently with neighbours of all ages on shared projects are immeasurable. (PERRIN GRAUER / PERRIN GRAUER STARMETRO) “If it costs the same as market housing, it’s just too expensive,” she told StarMetro in an interview during a Simon Fraser University conference Sunday. She said the initial costs tend to be balanced by the perks of shared accommodation. “You’re building common spaces,” Stonehocker said.

    PortsToronto to Sell Head-Office Property at 30 Bay Street to Oxford Properties and CPPIB Historic Toronto Harbour Commission building to be restored and maintained in any future development planned for property Proceeds of sale paid to PortsToronto will be directed towards paying down debt and making infrastructure investments Toronto (May 1, 2017) – PortsToronto today announced that it has sold its property at the corner of 30 Bay and 60 Harbour Streets to Oxford Properties Group (Oxford) and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB), who will each own a 50 per cent stake. The historic Toronto Harbour Commission building, which currently serves as headquarters for PortsToronto and is located on the site along with a surface parking lot, will be restored and maintained as part of any future development plan. The sale closed today and the transaction is valued at $96 million, a portion of which will be payable over the next three years. The proceeds from this sale will be used to support PortsToronto’s federal mandate to manage operations on a self-sustaining basis in order to reinvest funds into marine safety, environmental protection, community programming, and transportation infrastructure. The federal Minister of Transport has granted an amendment to PortsToronto’s Letters Patent to enable the sale to close. “The South Core is a burgeoning area for business and residential development in Toronto given its optimal location, public transit access and amenities,” said Robert Poirier, Chair of the Board, PortsToronto. “We are pleased that this sale will provide for future opportunities that will improve utilization of the property which is consistent with PortsToronto’s federal mandate and governing Letters Patent.

These new infrastructures are often 4 assumed to facilitate a mode substitution effect, i.e., encourage drivers to take up cycling as a 5 mode of transportation. This study explored the potential impact of cycle tracks (i.e., physically 6 separated bicycle lane within a street right-of-way) on short-term travel mode substitution 7 behaviour.

  • Local 830M Intervention 2018-127
    Unifor Local 830M Intervention on CRTC Broadcast Notice of Consultation 2018-127 1. I am writing with conditional support for Rogers application for a national, multilingual multi-ethnic television service offering news and information programming, which, if licensed, would receive mandatory distribution on the basic service pursuant to section 9(1)(h) of the Broadcasting Act. 2. I would like to appear at October 15, 2018 hearing. 3. Unifor Local 830M represents 60 unionized employees in Vancouver who work for Rogers Communications to produce programming for CKVU, CHNM and OMNI Regional. 4. We want to work with Rogers and the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunication Commission (CRTC) to ensure Canadians have access to high quality local multicultural news, produced in-house by Rogers employees in the cities across Canada which they also operate over the air (OTA) multicultural broadcast licenses. 5. Many of the applications the CRTC is considering with BNOC 2018-127 are deficient and could allow a Broadcaster the ability to contract out local news programming to a sub contractor who could be a competitor or even a subsidiary of a foreign broadcaster. Providing a translation service through the use of technology would also be a mistake and fall far short of the goals of the Broadcast Act. 6. The CRTC has allowed large vertically integrated Canadian companies to operate in a winner takes all world of regulated broadcast licensing. This is especially true with Rogers as the only multicultural broadcaster with its series of OMNI licences. 7. Unifor Local 830M would like the CRTC to consider what our conditions of support are: 8.
