Lobbying

The TPA believes strongly in engaging with elected officials and community partners. We have a proud history of speaking on behalf of the membership and our profession municipally, provincially and federally. It is very important for Paramedics to have a voice to advocate on our various issues. The TPA is a recognized voice for the profession and has contributed to many great successes through this work. We are committed to continuing this important work and building closer relationships with our government officials and other community partners.
