The mandate of Government Relations is to promote the relevance of research and teaching at the University of Victoria to government in order to gain support and funding for base budgets, major projects, research activities and priorities as identified by the University.

To this end the Department works with the President and Executive members to develop and enhance positive working relationships with all levels of governments.

Government Relations serves to:

• Act as a resource to senior administration and the University community by providing advice, workable solutions and strategies that will ensure UVic is successful in its relationship with government.
• Monitor policy changes that have implications for the University, identify and stay informed of new opportunities as announced by government.
• Collaborate with other universities and university associations to ensure that the education interests of UVic and post secondary education are well represented.
• Responsible for filing monthly returns ensuring that UVic is in compliance with the Federal Lobby Act.
