Michel Frappier leaves OMDC to lead bid for World Expo

Michel Frappier, Chief Executive Officer of Ontario Media Development Corporation since 2002, has left to be CEO of the Toronto 2015 World Expo Corporation. Kristine Murphy, Director, will serve as acting CEO of OMDC.

Frappier's new job will be to lead the formal bid for the fair, which happens every five years. The bid has been under consideration by the city of Toronto for several years. "This is a very exciting mandate and a big challenge for Toronto, as we will be competing for the bid against Moscow and Izmir, Turkey," he said.
