of Canada

TORONTO , Jan. 28 /CNW/ - Lisa de Wilde, Chief Executive Officer of TVO will address the Economic Club of Canada on Wednesday, February 3, 2010 , at the Sutton Place Hotel in the Queen Victoria Ballroom . Ms. de Wilde will speak between 12:15 p.m. and 12:45 p.m.

A committed advocate of public educational television and strong Canadian media voices, de Wilde will discuss TVO's unique challenges and opportunities in today's complex media landscape:

    
    -   The important role TVO plays in building social cohesion and
        community engagement in a media world dominated by sound bites and
        polarized views

    -   How TVO's footprint is growing: across multiple platforms, across the
        province, across cultures and across traditional programming
        boundaries

    -   Why all Ontarians have a lot to gain from a greater personal
        investment in public educational TV: the case for a new way of
        thinking about TVO - and for financially supporting it
