Exciting news from Burson Canada's BC Public Affairs team! We're thrilled to announce the official opening of our new office in Victoria-strategically located right in the heart of the provincial capital.

What does this mean for our clients? Unmatched agility and insight. When it happens. With a strong presence in both Vancouver and our new Victoria office, we can now be at the heart of BC's public affairs action in either city at any time on any day, ensuring relevant and timely intelligence for your organization.

Our team of experts in Victoria are what truly sets us apart. With nearly 12 years of experience as a journalist covering the Legislature, Richard Zussman is a familiar, friendly face in the building, regularly navigating its halls to ensure our clients' interests are represented in person. He's still getting used to going through the front doors instead of the side employee doors! And at the helm of our integrated communications and public affairs approach is Lindsay Byers, whose invaluable experience as Press Secretary to former Premier John Horgan and senior advisor to BC's Provincial Health Officer during COVID-19 brings unparalleled understanding of government operations and the strategic counsel required to navigate it all.

Together with our full BC team including our Western Canada General Manager Carlie Pochynok and our National Earned Media Lead Charmaine de Silva, this expansion strengthens our ability to provide unmatched expertise in public affairs, issues management, and earned media. We are ready to further empower BC's best brands and organizations to build and protect their reputations, innovate, and grow in today's complex landscape.
