2023 Canada Lobby Day & Canada Advisory Committee Meeting

2023 Canada Lobby Day & Canada Advisory Committee Meeting
Our brand new Canada Advisory Committee will meet for the first time in-person since its conception! On May 31, 2023 at 9 a.m. EDT, the committee will meet at Cassidy Levy Kent to discuss barriers to the industry and opportunities where the government can help. Then, FIA will host its first-ever Canada Lobby Day on June 1, 2023 to meet with Parliament to educate and address issues facing the forging industry. We are excited to spread our advocacy efforts throughout North America.



FIA Canada Lobby Day & Canada Advisory Committee Meeting

Why Attend:
     •   Critical to meet key policymakers to establish lines of communication and educate them on the forging
          industry
     •   We need your assistance to make unfair trade and labor shortage visible and work with lawmakers on
          solutions
     •   EVERY SINGLE MEMBER VOICE MATTERS! Lobby Day is critical for establishing contact with
          lawmakers to get them to visit our plants and get more invested in our success and survival
