In 1985, I was still finding my way in the world as a teenager growing up in southwestern Ontario. Others were just starting out in their communications careers, while others were winning the very first OVATION awards. Some of our current members weren’t even born when those first statuettes were given out. This all speaks to the diversity and strength of our chapter, as does the OVATION program itself. It encourages all levels of the profession, from beginning to veteran communicators, to excel in their work, and to reach for and attain the praise of their colleagues, clients and organizations. This year, communications throughout our chapter further demonstrated that diversity and desire for excellence by submitting a record number of entries, across a multitude of organizational types from the corporate, agency, independent and government sectors and categories (everything from media and government relations to publications and CSR). And the winning entries were just as diverse, from media relations to social media, photography, issues and crisis management, and interactive, to name a few areas. For the first time, we had submissions in the social media category and we will be awarding the very first award of Excellence in that category tonight. The number of submissions doubled in the following categories: Media Relations up to $50K; Employee, Member or HR Communications; and Other Graphic Design/3D & Photography. Even better, entries in the Electronic, Digital and Interactive Communications category tripled. IABC is a volunteer organization, and as such we are indebted to a host of individuals who gave selflessly of their time and expertise to make the 25th anniversary of the OVATION Awards a truly special experience. Thanks go to Linda Andross, ABC, VP Accreditation & Standards and her team of judges, and to Trell Huether, VP Awards, and his team, who left no detail to chance, long before and after the judging process, to make tonight’s gala a success. I also want to express our gratitude to our sponsors, including Translate This Now, News Canada, CNW Group, The Canadian Press Images and Fusion Design Group, who helped make tonight possible. On behalf of IABC/Toronto, I want to congratulate all of the 2010 OVATION Award and Awards of Distinction winners. I also want to thank everyone who entered and attended the gala, for recognizing excellence in our chapter and profession. Your dedication is an inspiration to us all. Brent Carey, ABC President, IABC/Toronto 3 A Message from the 2010 OVATION Awards Organizers The OVATION Awards recognize the high standard of excellence found in the Greater Toronto Area communications community and with each passing year, we continue to be amazed by the creativity and professionalism achieved by each entry. The high caliber of this year’s submissions demonstrates the level of skill required in producing successful communications as the competition for audience continues to grow and become even more important in challenging economic times. As we celebrate 25 years of success in the OVATION Awards, we also celebrate the success of IABC/Toronto, the world’s largest chapter. We can say with great confidence that the work being honoured tonight not only celebrates the best in our local area, but some of the finest creative communications in the world. In 2010 we saw a record number of OVATION entries and in total IABC/Toronto awarded 29 Awards of Excellence and 39 Awards of Merit. It is with sincere gratitude that we acknowledge all of the entrants, judges, advisors, sponsors and volunteer organizers who were involved with the 2010 IABC/Toronto OVATION Awards. Our sincere thanks are extended to the co-directors of judging –Amanda Brewer, ABC and John Cappelletti, ABC, MEd- and the team of more than 30 judges who had the difficult task of selecting this year’s winners. A big thank you also goes out to our amazing team of more than 15 volunteers led by directors Lyndsay Carter, Beverly Fairclough, Amanda Flude, Michael Miller and Emilie Smith. Your creativity, enthusiasm and hard work have gone a long way to make the entire OVATION Awards program a success. We also extend many thanks to our sponsors for their support: Translate this Now; News Canada; CNW Group; The Canadian Press Images (who provided the evening’s photography); and Fusion Design Group (our design partner for the gala and event’s striking creative). We hope you enjoy reviewing the following winning entries and we look forward to seeing your next entry in the 2011 IABC/Toronto OVATION Awards.

Conservatives share of vote is slightly higher than the Liberals, making major gains in key areas for the party • Bloc Quebecois (BQ) is a winner in this election, moving up to official party status which will give the party added resources as well as significance in the House of Commons • The NDP managed to win enough seats to potentially play an important role in the House of Commons, but the party took a big hit in Quebec — where they were only able to hold one of the Layton era “Orange Wave” seats • Maxime Bernier, who started the People’s Party of Canada after narrowly losing the Conservative leadership contest in 2017, lost the seat he has held onto since 2006 • The former Treasury Board president Dr. Jane Philpott, who ran as an independent following her departure from the liberal caucus, lost her seat in Markham Stouffville to former Liberal MPP and Ontario Minister of Health, Dr. Helena Jaczek.

  • 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.

  • Insight Trudeau Without Cheers Assessing 10 Years of Intergovernmental Relations
    IRPP Harper without Jeers, Insight Trudeau without Cheers Assessing 10 Years of Intergovernmental Relations September 2016 | No. 8 Christopher Dunn Summary ■■ Stephen Harper’s approach to intergovernmental relations shifted somewhat from the “open federalism” that informed his initial years as prime minister toward greater multilateral engagement with provincial governments and certain unilateral moves. ■■ Harper left a legacy of smaller government and greater provincial self-reliance. ■■ Justin Trudeau focuses on collaboration and partnership, including with Indigenous peoples, but it is too early to assess results. Sommaire ■■ En matière de relations intergouvernementales, l’approche de Stephen Harper s’est progressivement éloignée du « fédéralisme ouvert » de ses premières années au pouvoir au profit d’un plus fort engagement multilatéral auprès des provinces, ponctué ici et là de poussées d’unilatéralisme. ■■ Gouvernement réduit et autonomie provinciale accrue sont deux éléments clés de l’héritage de Stephen Harper. ■■ Justin Trudeau privilégie la collaboration et les partenariats, y compris avec les peuples autochtones, mais il est encore trop tôt pour mesurer les résultats de sa démarche. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS IN CANADA? Surprises. In October 2015, we had an election with a surprise ending. The Liberal Party, which had been third in the polls for months, won a clear majority. The new prime minister, Justin Trudeau, provided more surprises, engaging in a whirl- wind of talks with first ministers as a group and with social partners that the previous government, led by Stephen Harper, had largely ignored. He promised a new covenant with Indigenous peoples, the extent of which surprised even them. Change was in the air.
