The Special Action Fund
is a vital resource to be
applied when a threat to
the rights and privileges
of our members is
imminent. Every dollar
donated is held in a
separate account that is
independent of the daily
operating budget of the
association. The Special
Action Fund is utilized
when the CSA does not
have the time to seek donations, and must engage immediately in
government lobbying and consultation.
In 2002 the CSA appeared before the U.S. Congress to fight the
passage of a bill that would have limited Canadians to a 30 day visit
to the United States. With the assistance of U.S. governors and major
travel industry groups, the CSA successfully defeated this restrictive
bill. The Special Action Fund was a vital resource to the association in
ensuring Canadian access to the U.S.
Is the ongoing war against terrorism and its effects on travel in and
outside of Canada a concern to you?
Is the limit on the amount of prescription medication you can obtain at
one time, despite travelling for an extended period, a concern to you?
Or, if you simply believe that your voice needs to be heard by
government, help the CSA fight for your rights when Canadian or
U.S. legislation may
negatively affect your
ability to travel.
We cannot predict
the political future for
travelling Canadians. We
do know that it will be
a road of unexpected
twists and turns. We can
navigate them with the
Special Action Fund.
