CCL Canada’s Q1 and Q2 Reports

First Quarter Highlights, 2025

At the beginning of 2025, only one thing was for certain: uncertainty. We knew that at least one election would happen this year, but we did not know when. We knew that Canada would see at least one new Prime Minister during the course of the year, but did not know who that would be. We knew that Donald Trump, during his time as President-Elect, had made comments threatening Canada’s economy and national sovereignty, but did not know where these threats would lead. We knew that targeted misinformation campaigns had made Canada’s price on pollution into a political lightning rod, but did not know what would become of it. Our members remained steadfast in their commitment to securing a liveable future, one riding at a time.

Here are some highlights of the admirable and invaluable work that our members have done in the first quarter of this year.
Q1 2025 Report

Second Quarter Report, 2025

Since 2010, we have empowered our volunteers to get involved in the political process by engaging their parliamentarians in conversation.  Historically, this has meant helping citizen advocates to find their voices through letters to the editor, lobby meetings, and other opportunities to build political will. Now, empowering volunteers to get involved in the political process means coaching citizen advocates through a trade war with Donald Trump. This is not what we signed up for, but one of our strengths as an organization is our ability to adapt. We live in the world we have been given, not the world we want. Our commitment to creating the world we want is what keeps us going, and what has kept our volunteers doing some of  their best work through what can only be described as a tumultuous six months. The real story is outreach and building relationships; compared to the first half of 2024, we have increased our metrics in the Chapter and Volunteer Development category, more than doubled our Grasstops Outreach, nearly tripled our Grassroots Outreach and far surpassed our fundraising goals.

Here is a summary of our achievements through the first half of 2025, with an emphasis on the second quarter.
