There is not much new content here because we are all busy working on the provincial election campaign.

Here in Kitchener-Waterloo you can find out more at http://www.catherinefife.ca. If you got here from Kitchener Centre please head to http://www.rickmoffitt.ca. For provincial information please go to http://www.ontariondp.com.

You'll find contact forms and volunteer forms on each site. We'd love to work together with you on this campaign.

Please join us at The Princess Twin Cinema (King St. N. Waterloo) on Friday Aug. 31st, 7pm, for the local premiere of Leonardo DiCaprio's environmental documentary, The 11th Hour (www.11thhourfilm.com).

KW NDP will be co-sponsoring the event and taking part in an eco-forum in the lobby prior to the screening.

Also, our provincial candidate, Catherine Fife, will be introducing the film and providing comments on key local environmental issues.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

On Wednesday August 8, Kitchener-Conestoga NDP chose Mark Cairns as its candidate for the October 10th provincial election.

A lot of attention will be given to Mark's age - at 19 he will definitely be one of the youngest candidates in the province. But Mark has more to offer than youth. His areas of focus include the environment, lower tuition fees, higher minimum wages, fighting private health care and protecting family farms.

Here in K-W we'll be watching his campaign with interest - I think Mark is going to surprise a lot of people.

Congratulations Mark!
