DOUG FORD FUNDRAISER PROTEST AT BINGEMANS

Bingemans 5:30pm
425 Shirley Ave. Kitchener

Doug Ford is coming to town for a fundraising dinner tomorrow Friday, January 11th, with local Conservative MPP’s.  Join with others from across our community to protest and let them know your thoughts about Bill 66.  Bring a banner or a sign to explain that you value protecting our water, land and air and that public consultation is core to our democracy.

Bring some friends and join the fun.

We will meet at the main entrance to Bingemans at 425 Shirley Ave around 5:30pm for about an hour while they all arrive.  If you are driving please try to find a place to park at other businesses along Shirley Ave.  Grand River Transit Bus #34 runs every half hour out to Bingemans leaving the Charles Street terminal and returning every 30 minutes.

Lets see if we can have some fun and send a direct message to the Premier on the need to kill Bill 66!
