In the run-up to the federal election, AIA Canada has set up a new digital platform on archesecondairevote.ca. Its objective is to give a voice to its members and to companies in the automotive service and repair industry on major issues such as the right to repair. This platform provides resources for direct communication with candidates in various ridings across the country.
The automotive service and repair industry is at a turning point. MPs and candidates are proactively engaging with businesses and residents in their communities, creating an ideal opportunity to promote policies that will ensure the long-term success and sustainability of the country’s automotive service and repair sector.
This platform allows automotive service and repair professionals to take part in the industry’s advocacy, by communicating with or meeting directly with their constituency candidates.
