Preparing for the Provincial Election Next Month
On Thursday, June 7th, Ontarians head to the polls. If you are a caregiver of someone with special needs, or a professional who works to support those with special needs you may have questions for your local candidates. Here are some tips on seeking out information from all candidates. Over the next few weeks we will continue to update this list with local all-candidates debates for you to reach out to candidates in person.
