Lobby Watch: Moderna ramps up efforts regarding management of COVID-19 vaccine deliveries By Janet E Silver. Published on Apr 12, 2021 10:48am Parliament Hill pictured on Jan. 15 (Jolson Lim/iPolitics)
As the number of COVID-19 cases in Canada continues to surge, the push to vaccinate as many people as possible has intensified, but the cross-country rollout is still dealing with delays in the supply chain.
Last week Moderna was set to deliver 855,000 vaccine doses, which, as of Monday morning, had yet to arrive.
In an effort to reach out to the government to discuss the management of vaccine deliveries, the Massachusetts-based company has signed on with PAA Public Affairs Advisors, which has registered seven staffers to work on the file: Steve Van Groningen, Julie Groleau, Susan Cui, James Anderson, Felix Wong, Michael Von Herff and Noah Niznick.

In the 1980s, Stein was freelancing as a musician and composer for theatre and dance. During that time, he would work in Regina as a composer for the New Dance Horizons, where he helped them with their production management skills. When the 1990s came around, he took a job at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, where he was the Associate Director of Program Planning, a position that led him all over Canada and the world. It was then during the early 2000s that he decided he wanted to be closer to the art. “In the beginning of the early 2000s, I decided I would recommit to working in small arts organizations. Big biocracies are good for jobs, but you are quite far away from the actual hands-on art-making, and that’s the part I loved,” he said. “When I was faced with a career change opportunity, and there was this little cool company in Regina, I decided that I would make the plunge.”
