It was integration day at the CSA yesterday for three teams from the Canadian CubeSat Project! Congrats to the teams from @USherbrooke, @UNB and @MemorialU Newfoundland and Labrador on this big milestone!

3 days, 83 FCM members, around 100 meetings with MPs...that’s a wrap on FCM’s Advocacy Days for another year, bringing municipal priorities on a Municipal Growth Framework, housing and infrastructure, climate, public safety, and rural and northern issues. 👏#CDNMuni #CdnPoli

Day 2 in Ottawa for @FCM_online @MunicipalNL Attended Question Period in the House and then met with Speaker of the House, the Honourable Greg Fergus. His work in the House is challenging, to say the least, but he does it with a commanding calm!
