Toolkits for reaching out to your MLA

To feel comfortable speaking to your MLA, and making the campaign positive and engaging, we have created an easy guide to help you feel confident. 

Step one: Find your MLA. 
​This link gives you the right contact information for your riding. 
Here's a sample email to send to get a meeting or call: 
     
Hello, 


I hope you are well. I would like to meet as soon as possible for a couple of minutes to talk about the Building Back Better report about arts and culture's role as part of recovery and rebuilding for Nova Scotia, and what I believe the arts and culture sector needs in the upcoming budget.   I appreciate your time and look forward to seeing you soon. 

Sincerely, 


Step 2: Look at the talking points here for individuals and here for ambassadors for organizations. The main things are to be respectful and ensure you talk about Lifeline, Recovery and Building Back Better. 

Step 3: Highlight the campaign using our text and images on social media or use your own in the frame provided, with the hashtags #nsarts, #homeiswheretheartsis, #buildingbackbetter 
We're here to help!
If you need help to put your photo into the frame, just send your photo
here with your name we'll send it back so you can use it!
Step 4: Share your results in 2 minutes here. It helps us  know if we are being heard, and which MLAs have not yet been contacted. 
If you need any support, or have comments, let us know.
