A note about partisan activities<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you get involved in partisan activities, however, such as publicly supporting a particular political party or candidate, you must avoid making any reference to your employment at CBC. This is true for public events and social media. Members who are recognized CBC personalities or journalists must take particular care about being associated with partisan activities.<\/p>\n

If you have any questions or concerns, or would like advice on your particular situation, please talk to a CMG representative in your location or get in touch with the national office (info@cmg.ca<\/a>) at\u00a0416-591-5333<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a01-800-465-4149<\/a>.<\/p>\n
