Organizations representing well over 100,000 companies are coming together to launch a Canada-wide COVID-19 awareness and confidence building campaign aimed at helping to keep customers, employees and communities safe, and to build trust as the economy reopens
The “POST Promise” calls on business owners and managers across in the country to commit to and uphold five key steps to help stop the spread of the coronavirus: maintaining physical distance, washing and sanitizing hands, keeping workplaces clean and disinfected, staying home if unwell, and practicing respiratory etiquette, including wearing a mask when recommended. Business owners will voluntarily commit to following the steps and gain access to free resources to help create a safe environment for employees and customers.
Patrick Sullivan, President & CEO of the Halifax Chamber of Commerce and Chair of the Canadian Global Cities Council will review the POST Promise (the acronym is short for “People Outside Safely Together”) and how businesses can get involved. The program is designed to complement existing government and public health initiatives during the post-lockdown period until an effective COVID-19 vaccine or treatment is widely available.
Patrick Sullivan is the CEO of the Halifax Chamber of Commerce and has over 30 years of marketing and general management experience.
Patrick began his career at Procter and Gamble in Toronto and held progressive marketing positions in Toronto, Halifax, as well as domestic and international markets. He has been General Manager and President for both start-up and large organizations, including Indigo.ca and Workopolis.com. Most recently Patrick was the CEO of the Nova Scotia Tourism Agency.
He enjoys running and has run half-marathons, marathons and in October of 2011, completed a 250km run across the Sahara Desert. He holds a Bachelor of Business Administration (Honours) from Mount St. Vincent University.
