CableLabs
This appears outdated. CableLabs’ current official board roster lists Tony Staffieri as the Rogers Communications director, not Edward Rogers.
Full reasoning
The infobox presents Edward Rogers as a current board member of CableLabs, but CableLabs’ own current board page does not list him.
CableLabs’ official Board of Directors roster lists the Rogers Communications seat as held by Tony Staffieri, President & CEO, Rogers Communications. Edward Rogers does not appear on the current board list.
Because the post states in the present tense that CableLabs is among Edward Rogers’ current board memberships, and the organization’s official board roster identifies a different Rogers representative, this entry appears to be incorrect/outdated.

Economic Council of Canada
This board/affiliation is mislabeled. The federal Economic Council of Canada ceased in 1991; government records instead show Rogers served on the Finance Minister’s later Economic Advisory Council.
Full reasoning
This affiliation is incorrect as written.
The Economic Council of Canada was a separate federal body whose official publications record shows it ceased in 1991. Government of Canada records instead show Edward Rogers as a member of the federal Finance Minister’s Economic Advisory Council in 2010.
So listing Rogers as a board member of the Economic Council of Canada conflates two different bodies and names the wrong one.

Rogers served on the Economic Council of Canada from 2010 to 2013, providing insight into the federal budget and the state of the economy.
This misnames the body Rogers served on. Government records show he served on the federal Finance Minister’s Economic Advisory Council, while the Economic Council of Canada had already ceased operations in 1991.
Full reasoning
The claim is incorrect because it identifies the wrong organization.
Official Government of Canada records show that Edward Rogers was appointed in 2010 to the Economic Advisory Council. A Department of Finance Canada news release from June 8, 2010 states that the minister announced the new membership of the Economic Advisory Council and lists Edward Rogers among its members.
A separate official Government of Canada publications record for the Economic Council of Canada shows that its annual reviews ran from 1964 to 1991 and that the series ceased in 1991. That means the Economic Council of Canada was not an active body that Rogers could have served on from 2010 to 2013.
So the post appears to have confused the defunct Economic Council of Canada with the later Economic Advisory Council to the federal finance minister.

Rogers then worked for Comcast Corporation in the Philadelphia area from 1992 to 1994 before returning to Canada to work at his family's company.
Rogers' own company biographies give different dates for his Comcast tenure. Official Rogers filings state he worked for Comcast in Philadelphia from 1993 to 1996, not 1992 to 1994.
Full reasoning
This sentence conflicts with Rogers Communications' own official corporate biographies of Edward Rogers.
Rogers' 2010 proxy circular states: "Mr. Rogers worked for Comcast Corporation, Philadelphia from 1993 to 1996." Rogers' 2006 annual information form gives the same dates.
Because both official Rogers filings identify his Comcast tenure as 1993–1996, the article's statement that he worked there from 1992 to 1994 is incorrect.
