Activities this year focused on communications to support the collective bargaining process, including significant email and social media campaigns. The FA website also required maintenance. A new theme was selected and implemented on the site and it migrated to a new hosting service (WP Engine via CAUT). A new social media channel (YouTube) was created to host long-form videos that were created as part of the 2023 Strike.
