The webinar will feature expert discussions on Canadian public opinion trends, a virtual pandemic Parliament, methods of engagement, using good data for decision-making, Canadian business trends and engaging with the National Capital Region.
Media are invited to attend the event.
When: Tuesday, Oct. 27, 2019 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
