2010 PGAC National Propane Government Day

Get Involved on May 4, 2010!

Once again, the PGAC is preparing for its National Propane Government Day - one of the many tools used to increase our industry’s profile and to raise issues with government and elected officials.

This year’s event is scheduled for May 4, in Ottawa and will focus on a number of issues including raising awareness about:

• How the environmental benefits of propane fit into the government’s environmental agendas; 
• The economic advantages of propane for customers and the Canadian economy; 
• The propane industry’s participation and feedback into the Rail Service Review; 
• The impact of Environment Canada’s Environmental Emergencies (E2) Regulations; 
• Other issues brought forward to PGAC members.

Wanted – Planning Committee Members

The PGAC is seeking volunteers to assist with the planning. The Committee will meet monthly by conference call until the final weeks prior to the event itself, at which point more regular meetings may be required.

Wanted – Event Participants

We are seeking volunteers to participate in the actual day’s events which will include a series of meetings with government and elected officials and will conclude with an industry reception for PGAC members, stakeholders and invited guests.

While briefing documents will be shared with volunteers prior the Government Day itself, volunteers will also be invited to attend a pre-Government Day briefing on the evening of May 3 in Ottawa to prepare for the May 4 meetings.
