Veteran Ottawa PR Executive Named to Media Hall of Fame

Ottawa, ON – Ottawa public relations executive Tim Kane has been chosen as one of the first people to be inducted into the new Algonquin College Media Hall of Fame. Mr. Kane, chairman and CEO of Ottawa-based Delta Media, was a unanimous choice of the selection panel.

Over the years, Tim Kane and his firm have provided scholarships and internship opportunities for students attending Algonquin College, La Cité Collégiale, University of Ottawa and Carleton University in Ottawa and St. Clair College in Windsor. He has also been a tireless supporter of his profession through the International Association of Business Communicators, Canadian Public Relations Society and a host of local, national and international causes.
