Leap Ottawa Community Forum
June 14, 2016
We are writing you on behalf of Leap Ottawa Saute, a new grassroots movement in our city dedicated to creating debate on the Leap Manifesto.
We are hosting a community forum that will feature remarks from:
- Avi Lewis, filmmaker, The Take (2004), and This Changes Everything (2015);
- Verna McGregor, Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg and Miniwaashin Lodge;
- Ken Smith: President, UNIFOR Local 707A (Suncor Workers, Fort McMurray, AB);
- Larry Rousseau: Regional Executive Vice-President (National Capital Region), Public Service Alliance of Canada.
The Leap Manifesto has drawn controversy which requires more discussion. Many see an urgent need for change in our society, and want debate on the way forward. That's the spirit in which our community forum will be held.
