[homeles_ot-l] Housing Opens Doors: Ottawa , can you beat Toronto?

[Ray Sullivan]

Alright Ottawa, Toronto has challenged us.

No, not for the Stanley Cup – there’s no serious challenge from the Leafs.

…this is a challenge from Housing Opens Doors<http://www.housingopensdoors.ca/index.php?lang=en>.

The campaign had a strong launch in Toronto on Tuesday – but the Ottawa launch on May 25 will be bigger.

Check out the news below (and the ring that bell!)

24,284  rings and counting!

Tuesday, under sunny skies, we launched the Housing Opens Doors campaign<http://www.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0xNjIwNzM4JnA9MSZ1PTg3MDAwNDAxJmxpPTczMTM1OTk/index.html> at Yonge-Dundas Square. We had an amazing day!

Our top-notch volunteers spent the day talking to Torontonians and tourists about the powerful impact that an affordable home has on the lives of Ontarians and on the growth and prosperity of our province. We added almost 6,000 rings of support<http://www.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0xNjIwNzM4JnA9MSZ1PTg3MDAwNDAxJmxpPTczMTM2MDA/index.html> over the course of the day – a big boost to our goal of 156,358!
