Ongoing Strength! DSA Canada continues to succeed as an industry advocate. Recent victories include preventing proposed NAFTA customs duties changes, winning COVID emergency benefit access for ISCs, and reducing the impact of a planned cost recovery regime for health products. #DSACanada70 #NAFTA #IndustryAdvocacy #DSACanadaImpact

🏛️ Easing the burden! Over many years, DSA Canada worked cooperatively with the Canada Revenue Agency to create legislation that limits the sales tax burden on direct sellers. This was a huge win for both the government and our industry! 💼 #DSACanada70 #TaxLegislation #IndustryAdvocacy #DSAAdvances

🏛️ Did you know? Since 1994, DSA Canada’s Annual Day on Parliament Hill has been a major event for connecting with Canada’s political leaders. This initiative helps keep direct selling industry issues top-of-mind for elected officials and builds relationships between DSA Canada members and policy makers. #DSACanada70 #ParliamentHill #GovernmentRelations #IndustryAdvocacy

📜 A monumental achievement! In 1993, DSA Canada helped amend the pyramid selling provisions in the Competition Act, providing greater clarity and ensuring the industry’s integrity. This was a game-changer for direct selling in Canada! ⚖️ #DSACanada70 #CompetitionAct #PyramidSelling #IndustryLegislation

🔍 Advocating for a healthier marketplace! One of DSA Canada’s key priorities is working with Health Canada to ensure safe and transparent requirements for direct sellers. DSA Canada maintains regular communication with Health Canada, ensuring our members’ voices are heard and industry standards are upheld. #DSACanada70 #HealthCanada #IndustryAdvocacy #RegulatoryCompliance #DirectSelling

✨ Flashback to a Night of Excellence!  On October 19, 2012, DSA Canada hosted its “Celebrating Excellence in Direct Selling” Gala, an unforgettable evening of recognition and celebration. Hosted by Kevin Frankish of City TV's Breakfast Television Toronto, the event brought together industry executives, independent sellers, and special guests, including Ed Holder, MP, Her Worship Hazel McCallion, and Joe Mariano, President of the US Direct Selling Association. One of the most memorable moments of the night was the presentation of the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medals to 35 exceptional individuals in direct selling. These prestigious medals were created to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's accession to the throne and are awarded to Canadians who have made significant contributions to their country and communities. 🏅 We were incredibly proud to honour these individuals for their outstanding achievements and dedication to the direct selling industry. Their contributions continue to inspire us as we carry forward DSA Canada’s mission of supporting direct sellers across the nation. #DSACanada70 #IndustryExcellence #QueenElizabethIIDiamondJubilee #CelebratingExcellence #DirectSellingSuccess #DSAHistory

From Leonard Webster to Ross Creber, we are proud of our leadership's impact on the direct selling industry! 🙌 #DSACanada70 #LeadershipLegacy #IndustryLeaders #AssociationGrowth
