MEDIA ADVISORY – For immediate release: Tuesday July 20, 2010
Community groups are hosting a community BBQ and town hall meeting to encourage residents to protect public services in the lead up to Toronto’s municipal elections.
Our Public Services for All campaign is encouraging Torontonians to take action to ensure our governments do not succumb to pressure to sell off or degrade our valuable public services. We must strengthen Toronto’s social foundation, not dismantle it.
From health care to education, refugee programs to libraries; public services like these form the social foundation of a livable and equitable Toronto.
