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.
