When thinking about a successful career in the Canadian Public Relations industry; cities like Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver come to mind. People may even think about smaller cities like Winnipeg, Regina, or even Oshawa. No one would think about a smaller Northern Ontario city like North Bay. But Jason Corbett has had a successful PR Career in the city of North Bay for over twenty years.
Although Jason’s educational background is in paralegal studies; his natural communication skills and his passion for politics led him to a career in PR. His career started when he took a volunteer communications position for a local liberal MPP candidate. After a successful campaign Jason’s PR Career was launched and he was offered a full time communications position. Jason would go on to work on four more successful campaigns in North Bay: one at the provincial level and three at the federal level. After his last successful campaign, Jason took the position of manager of development and community relations with One Kid’s Place (a non-profit company that provides rehabilitation and related support services for children and youth, up to the age of 19 and their families living in the Districts of Muskoka, Nipissing and Parry Sound.) He still currently holds this position.
So yes, Toronto, Vancouver, and Montréal are the ideal cities to pursue a successful career in public relations. But when looking for a career, keep in mind that small cities also have a lot of PR industry jobs. So maybe the big cities are where you want to be and maybe that’s where the best jobs are, but when looking for a career in the Canadian PR field never count out the smaller cities.
