[All] Please help us to fill the room! Ont Climate Change Town Hall Thurs, Mar 19th KPL Main Branch

[Kevin Thomason]

A quick reminder as you plan your schedule for the week ahead of the upcoming Town Hall meeting by the Ontario Government on climate change at KPL on Thursday, March 19th.  This is our chance to make sure that our province takes a strong stand and comes forward with world-class solutions.

At the WREN meeting last night Divest Waterloo was there with a strong call to fill the Town Hall Meeting to overflowing and ensure our regional voice is heard on the need for climate change action in Ontario.  I have attached their excellent communications below.

Hopefully, GREN will have a strong presence at the meeting and if you can't attend please ensure that your voice is heard by using the online submission process.

See you Thursday,
Kevin.
