The Brand, Communications and Corporate Affairs portfolio is organised into four departments: Corporate Communications in Ottawa, Toronto and Montréal; French Services’ Communications in Montréal; English Services’ Communications in Toronto; and Government Relations in Ottawa. In a typical week, the Vice-President spends time in each city. The Brand, Communications and Corporate Affairs team also includes regional staff located across Canada.
The Vice-President is expected to maintain a wide network of contacts relevant to the interests of the Corporation. Travel to the regions is required to fulfil this requirement, as well as to attend stakeholder and management events, and to meet with employees.
The Vice-President attends Senior Executive Team meetings every six weeks in Toronto, Montréal or Ottawa. He also attends meetings of the Corporation’s Board of Directors six times a year in different locations across the country.
