BENJAMIN MORGAN BIOGRAPHY

For over 15 years, Benjamin Morgan served a variety of Alberta communities (First Nations communities, High Level, High Prairie, Saddle Lake, Olds, Banff, Cochrane, Three Hills, the City of Calgary) as an EMT and Advanced Life Support Paramedic. During a 16-year career as an advanced care paramedic, Benjamin Morgan also served as the public information officer for City of Calgary Emergency Medical Services.

Benjamin Morgan played critical communication leadership roles during Canada’s two largest and costliest natural disasters: 2013 Calgary Flood & 2016 Fort McMurray wildfires. Acknowledgement for his contributions were received from both Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. These two unprecedented events have afforded Benjamin unique communication experience and perspective in responding to disaster events and engaging with multiple stakeholder groups and levels of government. Benjamin was called as an expert communication witness at the Elliott Lake mall collapse public inquiry hearing, participated in a DRDC research project: Expert Round Table of Social Media in Emergency Management, and has traveled across the country sharing his experiences with municipalities, schools, and organizations.

During his time with the City of Calgary Emergency Medical Services, Benjamin Morgan held the role of Public Education Officer (2004 – 2007) – where he authored and issued over 150 media releases and conducted over 180 media interviews each year.

Engaging with his creative and innovative nature, Benjamin helped form the city’s new public relations and crisis team which was accountable for corporate media relations, social media, crisis and issues management.

He was called in as a crisis communications expert by the Province of Ontario during the Elliott Lake disaster public inquiry hearing. Morgan was also a key participant in a Department of National Defence research project: Social Media Expert in Emergency Management ‘round Table. Morgan is currently a principal at the Centre for Crisis & Risk Communications. With a drive for continuous learning, Benjamin Morgan immerses himself in the classroom environment where he doesn’t think of himself as a teacher but rather a facilitator of the exchange of information. He finds that through teaching others, he continues to be challenged and learns.
