We are inviting the community to discuss local and regional issues on March 26th as part of our 2008 Municipal Election Program. We encourage you to broadcast this forum widely to citizens in the communities served by the New Westminster & District Labour Council. Our communities include all communities from Burnaby and Delta east to Langley and Maple Ridge. There is no pre-registration or cost attached to attending this forum. We want to attract the broadest cross-section of people and encourage you to invite neighbours, family, friends, work colleagues etc. etc.
We hope for a stimulating and thought provoking discussion that helps shape the debate for this Fall’s Municipal and School Board elections.
