The Recession Relief Fund Coalition invites you to an important FREE public
event featuring: 

1) The public presentation and signing of a Declaration demanding budget
action by the Federal Government.

2) A forum to hear from members of the community about the growing needs for
housing and homelessness programs, income supports, employment supports,
settlement services and other supports in the midst of a growing recession.


* A hot meal will be provided.

Short presentations by four panellists will be followed by a forum where
members of the community--agencies, those affected by job loss and poverty,
etc.--will be encouraged to share their stories about the reality of the
recession.  

If you have someone who can speak out on behalf of your organization, or
know of someone who would like to share their perspective regarding the
impact of the recession, please contact Melissa at moldy109 at yahoo.com ASAP.
Please note that the number of speakers will be limited due to time
constraints, and speakers will be restricted to 3 minutes each.

Please plan to attend, and bring service users with you. Some TTC tokens
will be available.
