To the editor: Voters reject Liberal majority By electing Catherine Fife as the NDP MPP, the voters in Kitchener-Waterloo chose leadership that delivers results for everyday families. They voted for positive change that puts people first. Melanie, left, and Natalie Hebert of the Cornwall Girl Guides place a mulch mat over a tree during a planting session at the Long Sault Parkway near Ingleside on Sunday morning. The two were among more then 50 volunteers who planted 450 spruce, red oak and white pine seedlings donated by the TD Friends of the Environment Founda- tion in an open field along the parkway.
It may be the most fun you’ll ever have on a bus. Departing Finch at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, it’s South Nation Conservation’s 9th annual fall bus tour of environmental enhancement projects in its 4,000-square-km watershed. Participants will tour parts of SD&G and receive descriptions and updates of the projects from SNC field staff. A bag lunch I am pleased that Catherine Fife, the out- standing NDP candidate, has won the by- election in Kitchener-Waterloo. The convincing win by the NDP in Kitch- ener-Waterloo is a clear repudiation of the McGuinty Government’s record of cyni- cal politicking, demonizing the province’s teachers and doctors and its inept manage- ment of E-Health, Ornge air ambulance and the costly cancellation of power plants in Mississauga and Oakville to win seats in the last provincial election.

By electing Catherine Fife as the NDP MPP, the voters in Kitchener-Waterloo chose
and refreshments will be provided. Com- fortable casual clothes are recommended. Avoid open-toed shoes and high-heels. The tour, which starts at SNC offices at 38 Victoria Street in Finch, runs until 4 p.m. and is free. It’s another method that SNC uses to create awareness and keep watershed resi- dents informed of its environmental work on their behalf,. leadership that delivers results for every- day families. They voted for positive change that puts people first. The NDP wants to get to work at Queen’s Park and get results for families who are worried about jobs, healthcare, and the cost of everyday life. It’s time to stop the political games and focus on the challenges facing everyday Ontarians. Brian Lynch, President, SDSG Provincial NDP riding association,
