We really need people to come out On Monday for Electric Trains
We really need to show the City, and Metrolinx, that people are concerned with this issue by showing up for this meeting. Its a rare chance to show them that we have not forgotten the issue.
Calendar Thing
Yes, it would be great if people came out to this meeting, but not this Monday, unless they want to get a really good seat early. The meeting is on March 22, a week after this Monday, March 15.
