Abstract: AdvocacyThe Advocacy Committee had a productive 2025-2026 year, advancing national advocacy priorities, increasing awareness of environmental public health, and strengthening member engagement across branches.Leadership transitioned from Meaghen Allen to Kevin Kapell in October 2025.Activities focused on member engagement, national campaigns, Environmental Public Health Week (EPHW), and effective resource use.A key initiative was the CIPHI National Advocacy Survey, which informed advocacy priorities through member feedback.Results were shared nationally and used to guide planning and improve alignment with member expectations.The Summer National Advocacy Campaign demonstrated strong reach through digital advertising, generating over 416,000 impressions, reaching more than 100,000 individuals, and increasing website traffic by over 800%.EPHW (September 22-28, 2025) was supported through coordinated national messaging and promotional materials, enabling consistent engagement across branches and partners.CIPHI also participated in the 2026 Canadian Public Health Association Conference, engaging over 50 attendees at its exhibit booth and delivering a panel presentation to a multidisciplinary audience.This strengthened national visibility and fostered new opportunities for collaboration.Social media efforts focused on improving coordination, content planning, and platform growth, particularly on LinkedIn
