On April 9–11, members of MCA Canada’s board of directors and the chief operating officers of provincial and Ontario zone MCAs converged upon Ottawa to participate in the association’s annual mid-year meetings and Lobby Day on Parliament Hill.
A total of 10 committee, council and board meetings were held over the two-day period. Participants discussed issues such as branding, prompt payment legislation, services and programs, service contractor initiatives, membership recruitment, government relations, management educational offerings, and development of an insurance captive for the membership.
MCA Canada also held its annual Day on the Hill in partnership with the Canadian Institute of Plumbing and Heating on April 11. Our two main areas of focus were the harmonization of standards throughout Canada and across North America, and the need for federal prompt payment legislation. We attended more than 40 meetings with Members of Parliament and received positive feedback.
Look for more information on both of these events in the weeks ahead.
