Dialogue of Montreal is restructuring and will focus on integrated communications project planning and managing, something the agency has been doing for the past few years.

Dialogue President Yves Guinard says the agency had been managing the communication needs of Hydro-Quebec for the past two years, but adds that function, according to provincial policy, has been moved to an engineering firm.

The loss of Hydro-Quebec has also meant the layoff of about six staff members.

Guinard and Kristian Girard, Dialogue vice-president and general manager, will run a small operation and bring together outside agencies and other resources to best help clients accomplish their goals. PS
