2019 Rewind

2019 Rewind

2019 was a big year for us as Canadians, and for our movement. We moved forward with real and positive progress for Canadians, broke new records for grassroots fundraising and engagement, and earned another mandate from Canadians to keep working hard on the priorities that matter most to you.

Together, we have a lot to celebrate — and a lot of hope and hard work to look forward to in 2020!

Here are some of our 2019 highlights:
