Hello everyone and happy launch day!!

Now that our previously chaste blog has revealed its true nature, we’d like to bring you some amazing content to fill in all the white spaces. Hopefully you’ve checked out who the winners of the RBC p2p competition are, because they’ve made it here because of your votes!

I would personally like to publicly congratulate Nathan, Henry, George, Kate, Nick and Zach on winning the competition, and getting the best jobs since slicing bread. They will be writing entries and posting videos on this blog for the next year, really making it for students, by students. For more information on the six winners, be sure to take a look at the bio page, for their individual bios.

I’ve had the opportunity to get to know the team over this past weekend, as they were in Toronto for Blogger Bootcamp, and I must say that I’m glad that you have such great taste in blogger selection! (Selecting them, not eating them. There will be no eating of our bloggers). I’ll be posting some videos of our really awesome weekend next week, so stay tuned. The whole weekend was geared to give them the tools and access they need to get you the answers you want! Your six amazing peers have been here in the T-dot over the past 4 days, meeting our top level executives, getting training in various areas such as Video Production, Media Relations and Creative Writing concepts.

We’ve also been out on the town quite a bit!!

The team went to see We Will Rock You (the musical based on Queen’s music), had dinner at the Jamie Kennedy Wine Bar (AMAZING FOOD!!), took in some comedy at The Second City and took a tour of the town in the RBC p2p limo! On top of all of that, they also got 17” MacBooks, video cameras, all the accessories, and some pretty awesome threads. (Not stuff that Grandma would wear!)

The bloggers are now on their way back to their homes and will spend the next month writing their first blog entries and making their first video. In the meantime, I would encourage you to come back and read, as I will be posting regular updates. You can also sign up for our RSS feed on the right side of this page! We’re going to bring you a recount of our experiences as students, as consumers, as normal, everyday people who eat peanut butter.

Also, check out our Facebook group (RBC Campus Connection) regularly ‘cause I’ll be putting up a few pictures from our Blogger Bootcamp weekend for your viewing pleasure.

So, now that we’re open and being all honest and stuff, (~tear~) I wanted to let you know that we’re now also open for questions… so get the bloggers working for you! You can send questions in a few ways, either via email at p2p@rbc.com, or via comments on individual blog posts. While we’re still being honest and open, I love you Mom. (and you all too!!)

Goodbyes and Salutations,

Michel
