2 Dates Lloyd Longfield Wants You to Know About, and 1 He Maybe Doesn't


It's that time of year to get together again with old friends, and our local Member of Parliament is looking to get together with you. Lloyd Longfield sent out notice of a couple of important dates coming up where he's inviting Guelphites to see him and talk in person. Meanwhile, a local advocacy group wants to talk to Longfield en masse about a promise maybe he and the Liberals aren't keep... 

Looking ahead after the holiday, there's the annual New Year's Levee. Longfield, along with MPP Liz Sandals, will be welcoming constituents to the Italian Canadian Club at 135 Ferguson St. from 1 pm till 3 pm to "share in the optimism of the new year and discuss priorities for the year ahead." That will be on Sunday January 22, 2017.
Before the holidays though, Longfield will be holding a Christmas Open House at his constituency office at 40 Cork St. E.on Thursday December 22 from 11:30 am till 1:30 pm. Refreshments will be served if that sweetens the deal at all...
This coming week though, there will be a meeting at Longfield's Guelph office that he might not be so eager to promote. Fair Vote Guelph will be taking part in Leadnow's Make Every Vote Count National Day of Action on Tuesday December 13 at noon in front of Longfield's constituency office. Guelph is one of 35 communities across the country that will be hosting Day of Action activities. "It’s time to send a clear message that breaking this promise could cost Trudeau’s government the support of progressive voters he needs to have a chance of winning the next election," said the Fair Vote newsletter.
