Petition to demand plain language from government
If you’ve been on LinkedIn, you will have seen that Cheryl has launched a new petition. It asks the auditor general of Canada to audit the implementation of the government’s clear communication policy.
Cheryl asks you to sign the petition and share this information with others:
We demand plain language from government
The federal Policy on Communications and Federal Identity, Section 4.3, says, “Government communications must be objective, factual, nonpartisan, clear, and written in plain language. The communications function entails more than simply providing or receiving information. The way in which the government delivers its communications affects the value of the information, how it is received by the public, and the credibility of its source. Tailoring messages to specific audiences increases the impact of how the information is received.”
Fireside chats
Cheryl also encourages you to join her for her new Fireside Chats on the first of every month (at noon Pacific). Go to Eventbrite to learn more about how to participate. These sessions are open to everyone in the Plain Canada Clair community.
