NEW AS OF NOVEMBER 14, 2013

 Bruce Hyer, Member of Parliament, Thunder Bay – Superior North,  will be at our conference on Sunday afternoon. He will be our guest at our funder's lunch, he  will take part in our press conference at 2:30 and he will make closing statements at the end of the day. Bruce's presence at the end of conference is a perfect fit, because many of us ralled behind Bill C311, the climate change private members bill that Bruce championed in the House of Commons in 2009 and 2010.  Bill C311 has the dubious distinction of having been the only bill in the history of Canada to be passed in the House Commons and then be killed in the Senate with no debate, committee work, or consideration of any kind.   

 More speakers and workshops can be found in our CCCL Conference 2013 Booklet

Gerry Labelle will be the conference facilitator on Sunday. Gerry is a career facilitator specializing in governance. Gerry is a conservative who is passionate about protecting the environment.

 More speakers and workshops to be announced soon. The conference agenda will be finalized late October.

Saturday, November 16 – Lobby training and preparation

Our intrepid leader and Executive Director, Mark Reynolds, will lead the massive group start workshop at the Conference. Please note that if you intend to lobby with us, you must take part in the lobby training and preparation from 1:00 to 6:00 pm on Saturday, November 16, 2013.

 Lobbying our MPs

Note we are lobbying all week. MPs usually return to their home ridings on Friday. Monday is our preferred day to lobby. Wednesday mornings are the Caucus meetings, thus lobbying MPs would be unlikely during that time.
