Discussions with Decision-Makers: HSA Constituency Liaison Workshop

For over 20 years, HSA members have been working together as ‘Constituency Liaisons’ to let the provincial government know about the biggest challenges being faced on the front lines – as well as practical solutions. This non-partisan program gives members the confidence to meet with their MLA and talk about the issues affecting them and their colleagues. The goal of the Constituency Liaison program is to make sure that all elected representatives, no matter what political party they represent, are aware of the challenges members face and the solutions HSA has to offer.

Date:           January 30, 2026
Time:           9:00 - 4:30PM
Location:    HSA Office

Attend for a refresher on our priority topics, and to provide peer support to your colleagues getting ready for their first meeting.

Constituency Liaisons relate first-hand experience delivering health care and community social services across BC to let elected representatives know about the urgent challenges being faced, and the creative solutions to solve these problems. The constructive relationships built through this program have helped shape government policy and support strong public health care and community social services. This program is open to all HSA members who are interested in making our political representatives aware of the important role HSA members play in delivering health care and community social services across the province.
