Come on out to show your support for Transition Houses!
This Saturday in front of Antigonish MLA Angus MacIssac's Headquarters (on Church Street in Antigonish) there will be a rally at 3:30 p.m.
Speakers are scheduled to be Jeannie Baldwin, PSAC Regional Executive Vice President, Maurice Smith, NDP Candidate for Antigonish (tentative), and myself.
We are demanding that whomever forms the new government for the Province of Nova Scotia brings up the operating budgets of Transition Houses to today's cost of living standards and continues to increase yearly to keep up with inflation. It has been over 10 years since transition houses have seen an operational increase... 10 years of trying to pay rent, heat, fuel, electricity etc with the same amount of cash that may have covered those expenses back in the day.
Let's help make sure Transition Houses are in place, strong and accessible. Women & Children need a safe haven.
Come out to the rally to add your voice to the many who will be there. Let's make a statement!
