Join me at my Transit Town Hall!

Please join me and special guests Janet Davis (Toronto City Councillor, Ward 31) and Olivia Chow (MP for Trinity-Spadina and NDP Critic for Transportation) at my upcoming Transit Town Hall Meeting! As Torontonians, we know better than anyone how badly Canada needs a National Transit Strategy – so I want to hear from you!

MOVING CANADA FORWARD: Transit Town Hall with Dan Harris MP

Thursday May 31, 2012

7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.

Centennial College, Ashtonbee Campus – Room C-211

Study after study shows: Canada is falling behind when it comes to public transit. Municipalities and provinces are facing an ever-widening funding gap – not only for keeping up with growing urban populations but also in terms of simply maintaining the transit infrastructure that’s already in place.

Olivia Chow, MP for Trinity-Spadina has taken the initiatives in Parliament by introducing Bill C-305, calling for a National Public Transit Strategy. With a nationwide, long-term funding plan for public transit, we can tackle the challenges we face. But Olivia’s action in Ottawa is not enough – we need your support.

We’re growing momentum – forty prominent cities, transit operators and experts from across the country have expressed support for Olivia’s Bill C-305 to date, joining the call for national policy framework for public transit. Now you can be a part of it!
