June is Franchise Awareness Month!
The Canadian Franchise Association is looking to highlight your franchisees as local small business owners and the amazing community services they’ve accomplished through our Franchise Awareness Month campaign this coming June. Franchise Awareness Month is meant to raise awareness among all Canadians about the franchise industry – from sharing success stories about franchisees, celebrating franchising giving back to its community, educating about the various franchise sectors and more! The content will be published on our CFA’s social accounts(over 17K followers) and will be also repurposed in Fall for Small Business Month in October. READ MORE
DO YOU HAVE NEWS TO SHARE?
Send Us Your News!
CFA serves as a resource to journalists, editors and other members of the media and the Franchise Canada website (FranchiseCanada.Online) is often the first place to which they refer when looking for story ideas about franchising. Franchise Canada can help expand your PR reach to media who are looking for franchising information. Our Industry News section (found on the website and in Franchise Canada magazine) provides the latest CFA member media releases and published online news to both media as well as prospective franchisees who are researching franchising.
We source news items for these sections from media releases submitted by CFA members. Media releases can be about a CFA member company’s developments, promotions, charity work, recent accomplishments, or anything else you’d like to share!
If you are using a public relations company, make sure that they are aware of these editorial opportunities and are sending your news and media releases to CFA. Editorial coverage is free and exclusive to CFA membership.
Send us your media releases via e-mail to editor@cfa.ca. For more information about editorial opportunities in CFA publications, contact Joelle Kidd, Editor, at jkidd@cfa.ca.
ADVOCAY UPDATES
Ontario – The election’s not over yet……or is it?
By Scott Munnoch, Temple Scott Associates
As we enter the home stretch of the 2022 Ontario provincial election, we can look back on the activities of the Leader’s and their parties and we can look forward to election day, one week from today.
It’s safe to say that it has been a very quiet affair, in fact, some might argue it’s hardly been noticeable. Do most people know there’s an election coming up – probably. Do they know what the key issues are? Maybe. Do they know the Leaders of the main parties? Well, this is probably where the differences truly arise.
