Become Involved: Join the Parliamentary Outreach Program

The CAR will be offering support and materials for members who would like to make a difference and  increase awareness of these and other issues. Sign up for the Parliamentary Outreach Program and join the coalition for optimal medical imaging care for patients in Canada.

The CAR will select representatives in each province to be our grassroots champions for medical imaging across the country. Each designated spokesperson will receive a toolkit to make outreach to their provincial MP. There will also be an opportunity for representatives to be selected to partake in our annual Day on the Hill in Ottawa in November.

 

Sign up today by contacting Natalie St-Pierre, Director, Marketing and Communications at [email protected].
