Hi Heather
Wishing you success in your run for MP for Parry Sound- Muskoka
Am sincerely hoping for an all-candidates meeting. At my home, internet service is so slow and unreliable that even Zoom meetings don’t work well. Would like to see and hear you in person, Heather.
Hi Grant,
There has not been an announcement about an all-candidates meeting yet, but we’ll post details if one is organized.
Will there be an all candidates meeting this time, and if so, when & where?
Congratulations to Heather Hay! It is nice to have a choice.
Hi Heather, congratulations!
Wishing you and yours well.
Have a great campaign, stay safe and have fun.
Best regards, Marc
Do you plan to attend any visits to Parry Sound during the campaign as myself and many would like an opportunity to speak to you before the election ?
When you get organized you may put a sign on our yard in Huntsville. Put an notice on Facebook with a phone number and I will call.
