Parliament Hill Advocacy Day
IDA Canada is excited to host its third "Parliament Hill Day" in Ottawa this October. A Hill Day provides IDA Canada and its members an opportunity to engage with legislators, policymakers and government officials on key advocacy issues. This will take place through formal meetings and networking opportunities with Canada’s decision-makers. We look forward to discussing the important role our members play in communities across the country and some of the support we need in return to continue playing that role.
