Joanne Vanderheyden on National Leadership and Community Resilience
“Successive governments have really relied on FCM's policy work, and I can say that our subject matter experts are recognized leaders in their fields, from budget consultants to committee hearings, and many are familiar faces on the hill as we speak.”
