Our greatest strength is our membership. Leveraging that strength requires engaging members on important issues, developing collective solutions, and empowering them to be change-makers. Whether it’s an information session over lunch or an issue-based campaign, PIPSC events and activities help increase members’ awareness and build community.
This toolkit is designed to help you organize successful outreach events. It provides guidance on the types of events you can hold, information on how to access Better Together funding, promotion tips, and much more.
You can also reach our Mobilization Team anytime at bettertogether@pipsc.ca
