LymeHope wishes you all a Happy Canada Day! We are happy to share an upcoming educational Town Hall next Saturday hosted by MP Diane Finley and MPP Toby Barrett, both representing Haldimand-Norfolk, to educate about Lyme & related diseases. We are thrilled to see this kind of collaboration among federal and provincial elected representatives, taking action to show their constituents they are listening and being proactive to help people get the information they need to protect themselves and their families. Sue Faber and Jennifer Kravis from LymeHope will be providing education and information on Lyme Disease and Co-Infections. Note: there are 2 separate sessions on the same day, in 2 different locations. Registration is requested (no charge for either event): Saturday July 7th: 10:00am – Dunnville Christian School, 37 Robinson Road, Dunnville, and 1:30pm – Vittoria Old town Hall, 1538 Brock St, Vittoria Registration: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/dunnville-lyme-town-hall-with-mp-diane-finley-mpp-toby-barrett-lyme-hope-tickets-47320740609?aff=erelpanelorg MP Finley attended the May MP Round table in Ottawa co-hosted by LymeHope, CanLyme and the G. Magnotta Foundation, and she was very concerned about what she heard and asked how she could help. You might be interested in hearing MPP Toby Barrett raise a question to the health minister (2 years ago now): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPRo9AfO5vU We are appreciative of their willingness to listen and take action on such an important topic. What can you do? We would be happy to share our materials after the event and you could contact your local MPP/MLA and/or your federal MP in your riding and offer to work with them to host something similar if you would be comfortable doing your own presentation. You can also just thank MP Finley and MPP Barrett, and / or share this information to friends and family in this area who might be interested. And don’t forget to keep sharing this Petition! http://bit.ly/2lfBuNL Contact MP Diane Finley: Diane.finley@parl.gc.ca https://www.facebook.com/DianeFinleyHN/ Contact MPP Toby Barrett: toby.barrett@pc.ola.org https://tobybarrett.com/ Thanks as always, for your continued support and engagement, we hope you are enjoying a relaxing Canada Day long weekend!
