With a record-breaking number of entries and entries received in all 19 categories, 2014 was a banner year for the OVATION Awards. Making the OVATION awards happen was a labour of love for dozens of IABC/Toronto members who volunteered their time to promote the awards program, judge more than 200 entries and organize the gala event. I’d like to thank all of the volunteers for their tireless commitment to the association and for helping to elevate the communications profession. Finally, I want to congratulate all of this year’s award recipients. You did amazing work, you took the time to enter our awards program, and you’ve made your mark on the industry. Your support of IABC/Toronto is much appreciated. Congratulations and thank you! Sincerely, Louise Armstrong President, IABC/Toronto 3 Message from the OVATION Awards 2014 Organizers Based on the phenomenal quality of this year’s IABC/Toronto’s OVATION Awards, Bobbie Resnick Philanthropy and Student of the Year award winners, communications professionals certainly took the award theme, Make Your Mark, to heart. Without a doubt, we can confidently say some of the best communications professionals in the world call the Greater Toronto Area home. And it’s not just our award recipients who made a mark. It’s all of our entrants, judges, sponsors and volunteers who made the 2014 IABC/Toronto OVATION Awards possible. We would like to thank our many judges who spent countless hours reviewing this year’s submissions—no small task given the 54 per cent increase in entries we saw this year. We also owe our thanks to an amazing team of judging coordinators and award volunteers. Your creativity, enthusiasm and perseverance have gone a long way to make the entire 2014 OVATION Awards program a success. Finally we extend our gratitude to this year’s sponsors for their support: Speakers’ Spotlight, Fifth Story and Fusion.

Sincerely, Esther Enkin Ombudsman English Services Office of the Ombudsman, English Services | P.O.

No one issue or event grabbed the public’s attention or attracted strong response. That doesn’t mean Canadians did not reach out anyway. This fiscal year the office dealt with 2,618 complaints, communications, inquiries and expressions of concern, including 1,586 about news and information content. It is noteworthy that over 1,000 were outside the Ombudsman’s mandate. In contrast to previous years, no one topic or program attracted more than twenty letters. The one exception to that was as a result of a campaign to have Kevin O’Leary removed from CBC. The petition campaign was launched by Rebel Youth Magazine.

  • CFRB-AM Re an Episode of the Michael Coren Show
    CANADIAN BROADCAST STANDARDS COUNCIL ONTARIO REGIONAL PANEL CFRB-AM re an episode of the Michael Coren Show (CBSC Decision 06/07-1428) Decided April 14, 2008 R. Stanbury (Chair), M. Ziniak (Vice-Chair), R. Cohen (ad hoc), K. King, H. Pawley (ad hoc) and P. Wedge (ad hoc) THE FACTS The Michael Coren Show is an open-line talk show that airs on CFRB NewsTalk 1010 (Toronto) on Sunday evenings from 7:00 to 9:00 pm. The program is hosted by Michael Coren, who discusses current events and related topics with his callers. During the first hour of the episode that aired on August 12, 2007, Coren talked about the problems associated with pit-bulls. The discussion was inspired by an incident in Whitby, Ontario, where a retired couple had been badly bitten by a pit-bull and were likely to need rabies shots. Coren began the discussion by setting out his opinion on the subject of pit-bulls; he asserted that they were an extremely dangerous breed of dog and therefore should be eliminated entirely. He also made negative comments about pit-bull owners. Some examples of his remarks follow, but a complete transcript of the segment is available in Appendix A. Coren introduced the segment by recounting the story of the Whitby couple: Uh, this is a couple in Whitby, couple in Whitby, Ontario with their dog. They’re a retired couple, a nice couple, going out for a walk and, um, suddenly this pit-bull rushes out to their, the side of a, a park and the owner, the cretin owner, because everyone who owns a pit-bull is a cretin.
