Our TNVR program has shown solid progress and PCFCI is requesting that city funding be continued for 2011 and we need your help once again. Please show our Mayor and Council that this community program has your support by attending the budget meeting in Council chambers at City Hall on Monday, March 7 at 5:30 pm. As well, contacting Mayor Badawey, Councilors and city staff over the next few days prior to the meeting by email, telephone call or letter will go a long way to convince them this program is needed in our community.

PCFCI supporters will gather in the main lobby at 5 p.m. and we hope to see you there. There is strength in numbers and we need to make our voice heard. Please invite any friends, neighbours, family and co-workers that are concerned about this important issue. If you cannot make it that early, please just come when you can.
