Please join in our lobby day, this will involve sending an invitation to your MPP and attending the breakfast, or arranging another meeting time with your MPP. Coordinated by CCL, OCEC, OCAA and ClimateFast, this day of lobbying will address Ontario's energy future with a specific focus on fighting the planned expansion of gas plants in Ontario. Lobbying can be very effective and the more ridings we represent that day, the better. One of our speakers will be Zoe Keary-Matzner, who is a litigant in the youth climate suit against the Ontario government.<br>Please <a href="https://climatefast.ca/civicrm/mailing/url?u=5453&qid=180292" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 112, 192);">register</a> if you are able to attend - <a href="https://climatefast.ca/form/lobby-day-sign-up-form">https://climatefast.ca/form/lobby-day-sign-up-form</a></p></div><div><br></div></div><div style="text-align: start;
