MRFA 2023 Provincial Lobbying Days

In the lead-up to the May 29 provincial election, as MRU faculty we need to do our best to ensure that post-secondary issues are on the political agenda. This includes getting out our message publicly and reminding candidates that high-quality, affordable, accessible PSE matters for Alberta’s students, citizens, and communities. We are asking you to join with colleagues, with support, to sign up for MRFA-organized meetings with candidates in your riding.
