To CHUO volunteers:
The city of Ottawa proposes to cut 100% of funding to arts festivals in
Ottawa. This will adversely effect such festivals as the
Writer's Festival, Jazz Festival, Ladyfest, and many others. Similar cuts
were proposed in 2004, and were stopped by a campaign called "My Ottawa
Includes Culture." The only thing that will stop these draconian cuts is
a huge public outcry to city hall. Attached is a link to a letter about
the cuts, with links to city councilors. Please send emails to city
councilors, and pass on the link to anyone who might wish to take action.
Thanks.
