Environics Communications has added Barb Wright and Louis-Charles Roy as senior consultants to its Ottawa office.
Wright was previously at the Canadian Nurses Association where she led initiatives to increase the organization’s visibility and communications. Prior to that, Wright worked for a number of years on Parliament Hill as a senior advisor to MPs from Southern Ontario and Newfoundland and Labrador.
Roy spent five years with the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority where he worked as a communications analyst and spokesperson. He was also the special assistant and Quebec advisor in Ottawa for former Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff as well as an advisor to the government Deputy Whip in Quebec City.
“Barb’s experience in providing value to association members, coupled with her desire to help clients understand where their business needs align with the mechanics of government, makes her a welcome asset to the established government relations team,” said Greg MacEachern, vice-president of government relations at Environics, in a statement. “Louis-Charles will add a strong bilingual capacity to our team; his expertise in the Quebec market and transport sector specifically will also help us better serve our clients.”
