CIQS DAY ON THE HILL
November 15, 2022

On November 15, 2022, seven CIQS members participated in the first ever CIQS Day on the Hill, where they met with Federal MPs to advocate for PQS and CEC professionals and the quantity surveying profession in Canada. The purpose of this year's Day on the Hill was to raise awareness of CIQS and how our members are an integral part of the success of construction projects throughout its lifecycle.

The messaging was based on CIQS's pre-budget submission. Learn more about that on our Push Politics website at www.count-on-us.org.
