Unfortunately, there was no Staff Report at Woolwich and while Mayor Sandy Shantz tried to explain to Council the presentations, motions, and concerns from the earlier Regional Council meeting, Woolwich Councillors wanted more time to learn more about Bill 66 and develop a response as well as resolutions. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thus, it was decided that we would work with Township Staff and Councillors over the next few days to develop resolutions opposing Bill 66 with the goal of having them approved at next week’s (January 15th) Woolwich Council meeting. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><b class="">4) Bill 66 Local Media Coverage </b>- Kudos to Sam Nabi from Hold the Line WR who had a great interview on 570 News today about Bill 66.

It is fantastic to see these groups doing the fundraising and production required to have such a substantial message that is bound to get attention. For the cost of about $1500 we could undertake a similar effort here in Waterloo Region if there is interest and support: </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""></div></div></body></html>
