A record setting year for government relations

As noted above, the pandemic created an extraordinary need for advocacy in order to ensure the needs of our members and their students were understood and taken into account as emergency measures were adopted. This made for an especially busy year on the government relations front. In total, we took part in nearly 160 meetings with parliamentarians and key partners within the federal government. In many cases, we were able to include members, 68 of which participated in advocacy meetings with us this year.
