Walkerton still needs
our help
News this week of more illness due to
E. coli bacteria in Walkerton are a reminder that people there still
need our help. Many OPSEU members and locals have already made
donations to OPSEU’s Walkerton Fund; more is needed.
“Despite all the publicity, despite all of us who
have called on this government to come to the aid of the people of
Walkerton, it is still unclear who is going to foot the bill for this
terrible tragedy,” said OPSEU president Leah Casselman. “It may
still be months before Walkerton’s water is safe to drink. People
there need all the help they can get.”
Donations can be made at any Bank of Montreal in
Ontario, with cheques made payable to the OPSEU Walkerton Fund,
account number 0032-8097467. Cheques can also be sent directly to the
OPSEU Owen Sound Regional Office at 1038 2nd Avenue East, Owen Sound,
Ontario N4K 2H7.
Proceeds will be presented in early September.
OPSEU Action Fax is an electronic publication of the Ontario Public
Service Employees Union. You can reach us at opseu@opseu.org.
