And then alongside the street canvassing and the presentations, are there is there like a set of community leaders that the team is meeting with on a regular basis or is there like a roundtable that happens with trusted immigration service providers and has the agency participated in or what kinds of digital media and PSAs has DCWP engaged in to get the word out?

Thank you.
1:24:20
Yes, so I think is still here.
1:24:24
And I know that recently I went and spoke with community leaders from the organization.
1:24:28
That was really exciting to talk to them because it's like, Okay, I'm going to give you the tools.
1:24:32
And they become sort of ambassadors of all this information that is correct information to share with their community.
1:24:38
So we do things like that.
1:24:40
I mentioned a roundtable we did recently with organizations, especially to talk about immigration service providers.
1:24:46
And we do plan to continue doing those in a quarterly basis so that we can continue engaging and reevaluating and making sure it's like okay what is it what's going on, what are we seeing, any changes that we should be making or consider, any issues that we're seeing.
1:24:59
So we'll plan to continue doing that.
1:25:02
In terms of social media, sometimes we partner also with organizations on Facebook live events you know to provide information.
1:25:09
So we'll broadcast those as well and continue.
1:25:13
We do have a digital campaign that's been ongoing for the last month or so specific to immigration service providers.
1:25:20
So we'll do things like that as well.
