2021 Federal Election was formally announced

As you have heard, the 2021 Federal Election has now been formally announced. 

The election call formalizes what has already been a campaign-like environment, as the political parties prepared for the September 20th Election.

The RVDA of Canada is well prepared for the election and will be launching several key election-related advocacy tools, including:

An election campaign toolkit for members and grassroots advocacy  Submissions to Party Leaders advocating for the adoption of RVDA advocacy items  Active social media engagement on Facebook announcing RVDA’s strategy and developments

The main goal of grassroots outreach is to discuss issues of concern to your business and highlight issues such as the recovery from COVID-19; the shortage of skilled workers in the RV industry and the critical need to invest in camping and RV infrastructure. While the RVDA of Canada has also been vocal in its messaging to the government regarding small businesses issues, fair tax practices by CRA, trade concerns, the Association’s main focus remains on these issues.

The election kit provides instructions for contacting your candidates and preparing for the meeting, key messages and post-meeting actions. Also included is a sample email/letter that can be sent to each candidate's local campaign office that you should feel free to print on your letterhead.

 The RVDA of Canada will also be monitoring election platforms for related issues and updating members as needed.
