From Margaret Atwood : “In my global travels, I’ve seen first-hand the power of small communities to safeguard their best interests. Local residents step forward with solutions to save what they - and most reasonable people - value most. Right now, I see the folks in the small rural village of Midhurst working hard to protect an internationally important wetland - famed for its biodiversity - and prime farmland from rampant sprawl. This looming disaster could also send sewage overflow into beautiful Georgian Bay. Here’s your chance to help the “little guy” in a cause I support. For that reason, I will match every dollar donated to the MRA up to $5000. In my experience, these battles truly are David vs Goliath. Let’s even the playing field so that David can win! “ Every dollar you donate NOW will be matched by Ms. Atwood. AND you can receive a charitable receipt for donations over $25 from our mentor charity - Architectural Conservancy Ontario (ACO) – in time for tax season. Please go now to www.friendsofmidhurst.ca and click on JOIN MRA OR DONATE at the top. Then, choose either a direct donation or a charitable receipt. For ACO donations - Be sure to enter SAVE MIDHURST for “donation information” so that we receive your gift. Charitable receipts will be sent directly by ACO. THANK YOU for your generosity. Together we can win!
