The CLC is hosting this National Political Action Conference in Toronto March 22-24,2013 at the Sheraton Centre Hotel. This will be the largest conference the CLC has ever organized and the first National Political Action Conference in our history.
Working with the Canadian Council, the CLC National Political Action Committee, and all the CLC standing committees and working groups, the CLC’s objective is to attract a large and diverse group of the labour movement’s political activists and the next generation of campaigners, organizers, and leaders to this conference. The goal is to have the conference serve as the launching pad for a focused motivational campaign to elevate and advance labour’s issues as vote determining issues, as well as building the next generation of successful union campaigns.
This exciting conference will offer hands-on workshops and will expose activists to the latest modern tools, tactics, and strategies for effective campaigning.
The topics will offer something of value to union locals, labour councils, and national unions alike. A primary goal of this conference is to shape political activists into political organizers so that unions can better utilize their people for their own political work. There are just 1500 spaces at this conference and we expect an unprecedented show of interest – so leaving things to the last minute will likely leave you disappointed.
Guest rooms are available to conference participants at a special “CLC Political Action Conference” rate of $169.00 per night single/double occupancy, plus applicable taxes. All reservations must be made by 5:00pm Toronto time, Wednesday, February 20th, 2013 in order to get the special rate.
