GOVERNMENT RELATIONS |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Family Service Ontario
believes that a key role of a provincial organization is to
lobby government for increased funding and improved policy and
legislation |
 |
Relationship building with key government staff and
elected officials is at the heart of a comprehensive program
to influence government decision makers |
 |
Support to member agencies with local lobbying as part of
the overall plan is essential to our success. |
