Brown’s Socialhouse Portage
Join us next week at our Brews & News networking event for a timely discussion with Steve West, former communications professional with the City of Winnipeg about the Open/Close decision of Portage and Main. Steve will help guide and moderate our discussion as we cover all things PR and communications regarding the Open/Close in the media leading up to the election and how the outcome affects our city from a public relations and visitor experience point of view, plus more!
About Steve West
After 20 years at Canadian Pacific where he rose from junior accounting clerk to rail traffic controller – with some time away as a stay-at-home dad – Steve worked four years in communications, post-9/11 policy, and 24/7 operations at Manitoba Emergency Measures Organization. In 2003, he became issues manager for the Winnipeg Police Service, eventually overseeing all communications functions, and was the first civilian senior manager elected as secretary-treasurer for the Manitoba Association of Chiefs of Police. Steve was promoted to manage corporate communications for the City of Winnipeg in 2010, and advanced in the City’s corporate support services structure, retiring in 2017 as interim director overseeing information technology, project management, Indigenous relations, human resources, labour relations, and 311. Steve was a CPRS Manitoba board member from 2013-2016, co-chairing the society’s mentorship program.
Mark your calendars and we hope to see you there!
