Hi there,

Could you please remove me from this list. Thank you.

> Secondly, I agree with Kevin that we need a physical headquarters to run an

> greatest need for headquarters will be in September and October.  I have

> I can find some space for the fall.

> Finally, I will be on the other side of the province this week and won't be
> available to help with nomination meetings until after May 7 when I return

> I've heard back from Elections Canada www.elections.ca about obtaining maps
> of
> the four electoral districts that we are concerned with: Kitchener Centre,
> Kitchener-Waterloo, Kitchener-Conestoga and Cambridge.
>
> The best hard-copy maps come in sets for each electoral district.  They
> include, as I understand, individual maps of each polling division within a
> given electoral district that are highly detailed with roads, streets etc.
> The
> cost for each complete set for each electoral district is $15.00 plus tax,
> bringing the cost to $60.00 plus tax for all four districts.
>
> Within the context of having some sort of headquarters, I believe these maps
> would be essential to the effectiveness of our campaign.  Canvassers and
> distribution of literature could be strategically allocated, dispatched and
> recorded.

> I, personally, am willing to bear the the cost of purchasing a set of maps
