What is our Political Action Committee (PAC)

Our Political Action Committee (PAC) is made up of members who step up to lead the fight for change. PAC leaders represent their coworkers, organize actions and hold politicians accountable to healthcare workers and our communities.

Why It’s Important

Decisions about wages, staffing, pensions and healthcare funding are made at Queen’s Park and Parliament Hill. By organizing, lobbying and building political power, we are making sure we are in the room where these decisions happen and that workers’ priorities cannot be ignored.

How to Get Involved

  • Join your City Team
  • Attend Module 1 & 2 Training
  • Take part in the Leadership Assembly
  • Lead actions in your region

Leadership Academy

Leadership Academy

PAC Leadership Academy is where members learn the skills to lead political campaigns, lobby elected officials and grow their leadership.

That’s why the PAC Leadership Academy matters.
In just two interactive hours, you’ll learn the skills to:

  • Lead political campaigns
  • Lobby elected officials
  • Share your story in powerful ways
  • Grow your leadership and amplify worker power

These sessions turn volunteer energy into real political influence. When we learn side by side and take action together, politicians can’t ignore us.

How It Works

The Academy is built around two modules offered online and in person across Ontario.

You must complete both Module 1 and Module 2 to qualify for the PAC Leadership Assembly.
