Why you need to be at these town halls, come rain, shine, or snow
February 22, 2016
Tracey Saxby
This weekend, it is VITALLY important that you plan your weekend around the upcoming community town halls.
WHY? This is your one chance to have a face-to-face with our MP, Pamela Goldsmith-Jones, and share how you feel about Woodfibre LNG and its negative effect on the health and vibrancy of our communities and Howe Sound.
We need to fill these venues to overflowing to send a strong message to our Federal Government that we say NO to Woodfibre LNG. Bring your family, your friends, and your neighbours. For Squamish folks, join us in a photo action just before the town hall on Saturday that we will film and send to Ottawa.
We also need you to RSVP so we know whether we need to ask for larger venues!

12:30pm Assemble on the playing field next to Howe Sound Secondary School. Bring your umbrella and wear warm clothes.

If you really can't make it this weekend, we need you to tell Pamela Goldsmith-Jones that you are there in solidarity, and what you think about Woodfibre LNG. It can be a very simple email, stating that you are unable to attend, but that you are opposed to Woodfibre LNG and why. Keep it simple and polite.
