Please circulate! We need to raise the issues and win the battle! We need your help so please attend! The Canadian Union of Public Employees will be holding an information session in front of city hall this Tuesday from 5 to 6pm on the harbor solutions project. We have been holding these weekly events to show council that the privatization of this project will cost more and is just not the right type of treatment that is needed. Environment concerns are at best only meeting minimum standards. We are asking you to please help us build these sessions by attending this weeks session even if it's only for 15 or 20 minutes. Lets show council we mean business this Tuesday, its only for an hour and can have a huge impact. The water watch committee will be meeting at 7pm on October 11th and 25th at the Halifax Civic workers club at 2785 Isleville Street Halifax. Everyone is invited to attend this also. Below is a link to our web site where you can view issues on water that we have been raising all over. http://www.cupe.ca/issues/privatization/showitem.asp?id=1333 Soon the CUPE web site will have a link where you can send a message either pre formatted or your own words directly to HRM council members with one click of the mouse button. Hopefully by Friday it will be up and going. Please check back to the site and when it's going send the HRM council members a message. We are asking environmental groups, concerned residents, other unions or anyone who is interested in water issues to attend the water watch meetings on Oct 11th & 25th. These private corporations want to get their foot in the door in Halifax with wastewater treatment and will eventually want to take over the water and we need to be ready to fight and stop any takeovers. We are also trying to get the local residents in the HRM together to start and spread the word in the communities so if any of you know an interested resident or group of them please forward their name and phone to me at dannyc@ns.sympatico.ca Please e-mail me if you need more information have questions or are concerned. MAYORS DEBATE: Mayoral candidates Walter Fitzgerald, Peter Kelly, Ken Ozmon and Aaron Peters have been invited to talk about issues on Shaw TV who is hosting a live, one-hour debate this Sunday, involving all four candidates for mayor, which will be televised on Channel 10 at 7 p.m. The four men will again face off at a forum hosted by the Downtown Halifax Business Commission, Oct. 16 at 7 p.m. at the Westin Nova Scotian Hotel. Admission is free. Maude Barlow in Halifax Maude will be speaking on water issues at the Holiday Inn Harbourview (Dartmouth by the bridge) on October 10th at 7pm. Maude is a renowned speaker on water issues and has spoken all over the world. Please tell your neighbours, relatives and friends about all these events. Please tune in or attend these important events to raise issues and ask questions on the harbour issues, mainly to ask them to keep waste water a publicly owned and operated utility.
