Perspectives
I found it quite fascinating how many of Ontario's water advocacy groups took COVID-19 as an opportunity to regroup, think deeply, build new capacities, and set their advocacy agendas in a more radical direction. This is not to deny the devastation of the pandemic and related public health restrictions on this sector and the people who work in it. But I think there are some really important lessons in the experiences of these advocacy groups for understanding the resilience of the non-profit sector and the evolution of non-profit advocacy missions.
