Article content

CBC is planning to shed more than 60 jobs across multiple divisions, including its news division, the National Post has learned.

In an email sent to staff, Barb Williams, the executive vice-president of CBC English Services, said 40 employees affiliated with the Canadian Media Guild in five locations across the country will be let go, with most of them in Toronto.

A further 11 people, her email said, who are affiliated with the Association of Professionals and Supervisors, which represents supervisory staff and professional employees, will also be let go.

“A number of unaffiliated positions are also a part of this overall downsizing,” the email said. This refers to a further 10 people in management who have been let go.

In the email, Williams said CBC “operates in a challenging media landscape, a media landscape which is in constant disruption.”

The layoffs affect “all aspects of our business,” said Chuck Thompson, the head of public affairs, at CBC. This includes news, current affairs and others.
