This session will outline the political landscape of the upcoming federal election. It will cover:
Current and trending public opinion, voter trends and likely electoral outcomes; Implications, challenges and opportunities for environmental policy; The importance of relationship building across parties and with relevant constituencies; How and where to pitch platform asks; Election strategies; and How to engage with the public service during the pre-election period. This workshop is for those who have at least some experience with government relations, and want to learn more. The format will be interactive, with opportunities for Q&A and discussion of specific examples. The focus will be on the federal government, although the principles apply at the provincial level, and to some degree, the municipal.
