Do You Care Ad Urges Nassagaweya Protest Over Regional Plan
Nassogaweya Township Deputy Reeve Anne MacArthur bought a two color ad in today's paper calling residents to protest Ontario provincial government plans for regional government. The message urges letters to Minister Darcy McKeough opposition leaders Nixon and MacDonald Premier Robarts and local MPP George Kere. The ad warns Halton and Peel Counties would be carved up if opinions are not loud enough. It references a $250,000 yearly data expense from 1969 to 1973 and ties to local council debates on health nurse shortages and regional government talks with Georgetown and Esquesing. The piece also notes town actions on parking lot signs crosswalks snow blower procurement delays and community winter carnival Phuture Phreaze events.
