The idea began with three companies that had faced this problem themselves; Editorial Associates Limited, Montreal; Philip Hurteau and Company, Montreal, and Ontario Editorial Bureau, Toronto. The group later grew to eight affiliates within Canada, one in London, England, two in the United States and John Fisher Enterprises Ltd. a national consultant, Toronto. The service offered is ` unique as it takes into account regional, economic and socio-political differences. It does this by bringing together privately owned and run companies within the major centers of Canada. These individual companies are then better able to account for their areas regional differences as they are aware of prominent issues through community involvement. This awareness creates a more effective public relations campaign in any given area. The local expertise are applied to industrial, commercial, institutional and governmental clients making contributions to business, social and cultural life. By definition Public Relations are “the management function which evaluates public attitudes, identifies the policies and procedures of an individual or an organization with the public interest and plans and executes a program to earn public understanding and acceptance” (letter box 5 folder 18, 1983). Formal public relations are often used by organizations to promote a positive perception of their company. Public relations do not refer to advertising although some aspect of advertising may be involved. Public Relations can be accredited and given the distinction of APR (Accredited, Public Relations). This simply means the accredited has worked in public relations for at least five years, successfully completed an examination and abides by the Society’s Code of Professional Standards. This collection touches on the history of public relations throughout Canada. Inside Canada’s companies have unique histories that contribute to a national documentary record. Some of the topics which affected the group, as well as Canada; include Bill 22 and language issues in Quebec, Hydro-Quebec, 1977, International markets (Japanese) in Vancouver 1970s, National Elevator dispute, oil in Alberta, Royal and Papal visits among others. ______________________________________________________________________________ Scope and Content: Materials related to public relations within Canada and Internationally (New York and London, England), from the early 1950s to late 1980s.
