The Ontario Federation of Agriculture has circulated the following announcement about the Rally set for Queen’s Park in Toronto on Monday, March 26
, at 11:00 a.m.
PLEASE READ! We need YOUR help as NUMBERS SPEAK VOLUMES! A rally to Save Horse Racing (and subsequently other industries that will be affected by the removal of the “Slots at Racetracks Program”) has been organized to take place this coming Monday at Queen’s Park in Toronto (Monday, March 26/2012) at 11:00 am.
This is our last chance to sway the decisions being made by the minority Government which is being led by Premier Dalton McGuinty and Finance Minister Dwight Duncan. Three slot locations (Windsor, Fort Erie and Hiawatha Horse Park) of the 17 racetracks in Ontario have already been given the order to shut down creating several hundred people to lose their jobs. These figures will continue to increase if immediate action isn’t taken.
The MPPs are urging all involved to take part in a pre-rally gathering which begins at 10:30 am. We, the horsemen of Ontario, ask everyone affected to unite as one. It affects us as a whole so we should fight together.
