With just a little over a year until the 2018 provincial election, many public affairs professionals are constantly assessing the evolving public policy landscape in Ontario. Public affairs professionals are also well on their way to organizing and executing pre-election public affairs strategies and advocating for significant public policy positions to be included in the respective party platforms for the election.

Join the Public Affairs Association of Canada (PAAC) for an exciting panel discussion on the current state of Ontario politics, and the key policy issues that are currently top of mind in Ontario and will continue to be so until Election Day.

Why Join PAAC?

The Public Affairs Association of Canada is the leading forum for representing lobbyists’ concerns to all levels of government in Canada. We actively engage lobbyist regulators in discussion about the rules and regulations governing lobbyist registration and reporting requirements in Canada. The PAAC has presented to various government committee’s on proposed changes to lobbying law at the federal, provincial and municipal levels. In addition, the PAAC hosts conferences, conducts media interviews and submits opinion editorials all in an effort to position lobbying as a key and valuable component of the public policy process.
