19th Canadian Legislative Conference April 22-25 in Ottawa
January 6, 2012 -- After a rare October
appearance on the IAFF calendar last year, the IAFF’s Canadian Legislative
Conference returns to its usual April timeframe in 2012.
The 19th
Canadian Legislative Conference will take place April 22 to 25 at the Delta
Ottawa Hotel and Suites and will feature an orientation session for new
delegates, guest speakers, issues focus session, IAFF Parliamentary
Reception and wrap-up session. Lobby Day will be Tuesday, April 24.
The 19th
Canadian Legislative Conference is a prime opportunity for Canadian IAFF
members to build on the work done by delegates at the 18th
Canadian Legislative Conference in October, when more than 120 lobby
meetings were conducted with MPs and senators from across Canada. Among
other important issues, delegates in October lobbied on the need for a
national Public Safety Officer Compensation (PSOC) benefit, which is
expected to again be a key issue during the 19th Canadian
Legislative Conference.
Complete information about
the 2012 Canadian Legislative Agenda conference and hotel registration will
be sent electronically to local presidents and secretaries in the coming
weeks. Online legislative conference registration and registration through
a FIREPAC Canada contribution will again be offered this year. Our website
will be updated in the near future with further information, including links
to conference and hotel registrations.
Delegates should note that
while the 19th Canadian Legislative Conference will be held in
same hotel as previous editions, the IAFF has been advised that the hotel
name will be changing sometime between now and when the conference takes
place. The Canadian Office will ensure that all Canadian affiliates are
provided with up-to-date hotel information as soon as it is available.
