October 4, 2021 – Montreal – National Film Board of Canada (NFB)

The National Film Board of Canada (NFB) has named Osas Eweka-Smith as its new Publicist and Public Relations Officer, based in the NFB’s Halifax office. She will be working on media relations campaigns as well as public relations outreach.

Osas will be working in close collaboration with the Quebec-Atlantic Studio, along with creators and communities across Atlantic Canada. Reporting to Magalie Boutin, the NFB’s Montreal-based Head of Media Relations, Osas will contribute to the NFB’s strong presence serving Quebec’s English-language communities.

The decision to base this position in Atlantic Canada underscores the NFB’s commitment to reflecting stories and issues from every part of country, with an NFB media relations team that now reaches from Atlantic to Pacific and has deep ties to local communities.

The Canadian Francophonie Studio will continue to be served by the NFB’s team of francophone publicists, in addition to the on-the-ground expertise of our freelance publicist Madeleine Blanchard.

She will initially be working remotely from her current home in Alberta, before relocating in January to Halifax, her hometown for more than 10 years, where she will reunite with family, friends and her extensive industry ties in Nova Scotia.

北朝鮮がまた飛翔体発射

北朝鮮が行ったミサイルの発射実験=17日(朝鮮中央通信=共同)【ソウル=時吉達也】韓国軍合同参謀本部は27日、北朝鮮が同日午前8時ごろ、東部の咸興(ハムフン)付近から日本海に向けて短距離弾道ミサイルと推定される飛翔(ひしょう)体2発を発射したと発表した。飛行距離は約190キロ、高度は約20キロだった。詳しい情報の収集、分析を急いでいる。日本政府関係者によると、ミサイルは日本の排他的経済水域(EEZ)外へ落下したとみられる。北朝鮮によるミサイル発射は、今年に入り6回目。「極超音速ミサイル」と称する兵器を含む弾道ミサイルを4回発射したほか、25日にも巡航ミサイルの発射が確認されたばかりだった。北朝鮮は19日に開催された朝鮮労働党政治局会議で、「米国の敵対行為を制圧できる物理的手段の強化」に言及。大陸間弾道ミサイル(ICBM)発射や核実験の再開を示唆していた。韓国メディアはICBM発射に先立ち、米グアムを射程に収める中距離弾道ミサイル(IRBM)が近く発射される可能性があるとする情報当局の分析を報道。北朝鮮が今後、段階的に挑発を強める可能性を指摘している。
