Micheline has served as trusted advisor, analyst and reliable source of information and feedback to the OC staff, board and Advocacy Committee. Her good sense, high ethical standards, discretion, hard work, and political insights have inspired us all. On a personal note, she\u2019s the best and most patient co-writer I\u2019ve ever worked with, handling my relentless editing and wild spins on things with great aplomb. I also recall with great admiration the role she played in our Orchestras on the Hill day in early 2018: the passionate tributes that Minister of Canadian Heritage and the chairs and vice chairs of the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage paid to orchestras that day came about because of Micheline\u2019s tact and effective organization.<\/p>\n<p>In the fall of 2018, Micheline let us know that she was closing her government relations practice to focus on other things. We bade her a fond farewell in early March, and thanked her on behalf of the entire OC community. She has done exceptional work with us over the last five and a half years and we are grateful.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3686\" src=\"https:\/\/oc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/\u00c9ric-250x250.png\" alt=\"\u00c9ric Dubeau\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/\u00c9ric-250x250.png 250w, https:\/\/oc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/\u00c9ric-250x250-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 960px) 75vw, 100vw\" \/>Starting April 1, we\u2019ll be welcoming \u00c9ric Dubeau as OC\u2019s new government relations advisor. \u00c9ric, based just outside Montreal, has many years of experience as an arts advocate, political staffer on Parliament Hill, policy wonk, association leader, granting officer, arts consultant, and award-winning singer-songwriter.
