These events are sponsored by the Save Our City Campaign, which was
initiated by social justice coalitions and community groups, to build
opposition to city budget cuts. We demand that city councillors draw a
line in the sand and demand a fair deal from the Province and the
Federal government to save quality public programs and services in our
City. To get involved, please call the Save Our City campaign office at
(416) 351-0095 ext. 258, and visit www.saveourcity.ca
