Show detail Hide detail

The fonds consists of personal notes, correspondence, photographs, videotapes, sound recordings, cartoons, speeches and other records mostly created and accumulated by Anthony Manera during his years as President of the CBC from 1993 to 1995. Most of the personal notes and correspondence document his meetings and written exchanges with Michel Dupuy, then Minister of Communications, on various issues facing the CBC such as his appointment as President, budgetary cuts and downsizing. Other documents related to the CBC strategic plan presented by Manera in November 1994 and to its sports programming, are also found in the fonds. The photographs include views of Manera with various members/officials of the CBC, the CBC Board of Directors and staff; and cover such events such as the re-opening of the Windsor CBC station, his appointment as President, and a meeting with Pope Jean-Paul II. Most of these documents were used by Anthony Manera to write his book 'A Dream betrayed: the battle for CBC' in 1996.
