Dear Friends:
As most of you will already know, on
October 22nd, the Prime Minister called a
Federal Election. As is the case across
Canada, candidates are busy preparing for
the November 27th vote. As your Member
of Parliament and the Liberal Candidate for
Huron-Bruce, I am eager to hit the election
trail. Despite my personal eagerness, in
fairness to the dedicated men and women
who are hard at work on the municipal
campaign trail, it is my intention to
withhold my re-election road signs until
after municipal Election Day. In the
meantime, I would be happy to provide
lawn signs for those constituents who
would like one. Interested electors can
contact or visit my Campaign
Headquarters. My Campaign Headquarters
is located in Goderich, just off Highway 21,
in the Victoria Street Plaza (between Beckers
and my constituency office).
Also, please note that my constituency
and Parliament Hill offices will remain
open over the 36-day election period to
assist you with any constituency-related
concerns that you may have. I urge you to
continue to utilize their services.
Sincerely,
Paul Steckle
