EDA DISTRICTS
The EDA’s LDC member companies are divided into six regional districts. Each district operates under its own constitution and bylaws. One director is elected by each of the EDA’s district associations to ensure geographic representation on the EDA Board.
District associations and their events provide opportunities for local interaction, knowledge sharing, co-operative initiatives and a mechanism to strengthen the profile of LDCs within a specific region.
Members can learn more about EDA Districts, and access district meeting information and reports by logging in www.eda-on.ca.
