<p dir="ltr">Hello GREN All - </p>
<p dir="ltr">I hope you all just saw Lulu's letter on the land grabs that are afoot in Ontario.</p>
<p dir="ltr">At GREN's joint mtg in Paris in Feb with citizens of Brant and Oxford Counties, I met some of the folks who are resisting Walton Int'l buy-ups of local land along their greenbelt.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I've invited them to come and speak at a public mtg held by KAIROS Grand River on March 25. Joining them will be a PhD student who works with Prof Jennifer Clapp (author of the excellent book "Food" which came out just over a year ago). I hope it will make for an eye-opening discussion.</p>
