20 Agosto 2023 - 11:30PM
It is with deep sadness that Rogers Communications Inc. announces
the passing of Phil Lind, long-standing member of the Board of
Directors and company executive.
“Phil worked for Rogers for 54 years, nearly 40 of them with my
father and helped build Rogers into the telecom and media
powerhouse it is today,” said Edward Rogers, Chair, Rogers
Communications. “He has been involved in every key decision in the
company’s history and we are forever grateful for his countless
contributions.”
From the Maclean Hunter deal to the Rogers-Shaw deal, Phil
played an integral role in every major transaction in the company’s
history. He was a tireless advocate for multilingual, multicultural
and specialty programming. Phil was instrumental in the creation of
the Rogers Group of Funds and championed Canada’s independent film
and television sector. He was the architect and founder of CPAC and
the driving force behind the acquisition of both Sportsnet and the
Toronto Blue Jays. Phil proudly led the company’s growth and cable
expansion into the United States.
Phil’s innumerable contributions were also recognized outside
the company. He was appointed to the Order of Canada in 2002 and
was inducted into the U.S. Cable Hall of Fame in 2012. Phil was the
third Canadian to receive this honour, after Ted and JR Shaw. He
received honorary doctorates for his work, including UBC and
OCAD.
“Phil has been a constant steady force for over five decades,”
added Rogers. “We will miss his deep devotion, relentless
determination, and sage counsel.”
The Board of Directors and all Rogers employees express their
deepest condolences to his children Sarah and Jed,
daughter-in-law Jessica, grand-children James and Jack and his
long-time partner Ellen. The company will make a donation to
honour his contributions.`
