On November 14 and 15, 2023, delegates from OLA and FOPL took part in over 20 meetings at Queen’s Park, building awareness about the importance of Ontario’s libraries and the sector’s priority needs. Supported by our government relations partners at Counsel Public Affairs (CPA), these advocacy days provided a unique opportunity to strengthen our collective advocacy and advance our shared provincial government relations efforts. We met with a broad, multi-partisan spectrum of elected and Ministry officials, educating them on the impact of libraries, the challenges our sector faces, and the ways we can work with the provincial government to better our communities and schools.
