Government Relations
OCASI makes deputations, raises questions about policies and process, sends delegations to politicians and engages decision makers in the political process.
As a charity, with many member organizations with charitable status, OCASI is also concerned with the narrow definitions, cumbersome reporting requirements and process of community collaboration undertaken by Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).
