Engaging your MP or MPP

This presentation looked at advocacy in general and taking action by engaging political decision-makers. Attendees learned how to find out more about their MP or MPP, as well as what to do to prepare for a meeting with them, how to communicate effectively during the meeting, and details of any follow up. Since the Ontario election will be held on or before June 2, attendees were also given some tips to assist with pre-election advocacy.

Highlights included:
