What is ProPac?
|
ProPac is a political action fund that is sustained by contributions from OPFFA members.
It is the OPFFA’s political action committee. It is an integral part of the OPFFA’s efforts to promote the legislative and the political interests of our province's professional fire fighters. How does your contribution to PROPAC help us achieve our goals? Your PROPAC contribution allows the OPFFA to educate Members of Provincial Parliament about issues important to our profession and to elect candidates to office that support those issues. |
