How to Get Involved

Visit or Call your MPP

Queens Park is currently not in session. During this break, MPPs are supposed to be spending time in their home ridings meeting with constituents. We’ve prepared a script which includes talking points and links to more information, which you can use should you like to contact your MPP in person.

Use this link to find the contact information for your MPP: https://www.ola.org/en/members/current/contact-information

If you don’t know who your MPP is, enter your postal code in this link to find your riding: https://voterinformationservice.elections.on.ca/en/election/search?mode=postalCode

Ontario Legislative Petition

These petitions are not online petitions, they must be signed by hand and mailed or dropped off to the respective MPP offices.

All petition pages MUST be signed on this document (no digital signatures), i.e you can not add additional blank pages with signatures. In other words, all signatures must be signed on the document outlining the petition information. Please contact me if mailing petitions is a barrier for you for financial or other reasons so we may work on a solution.

FIRST PETITION (OAC-ICF Petition): This petition encompasses whole cuts to the Ontario Arts Council, including the Indigenous Culture Fund. The petition is supported by MPP Dr. Jill Andrew (Toronto-St. Paul’s). Petitions will be collected throughout December and January so please continue to gather signatures and mail in your petitions. This petition can be mailed to the address listed on the petition, or, it can be dropped off at MPP Andrew’s Community Office: 803 St. Clair Avenue West (St. Clair West & Arlington).

SECOND PETITION (Petition to Restore the Indigenous Culture Fund): This petition is specific to the cuts to the Indigenous Culture Fund. This petition is supported by Sol Mamakwa (Critic, Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation Member).

Please remember all petitions MUST be hand-signed on the petition document and mailed or dropped off (can not be emailed/scanned/faxed). 

A letter writing campaign is also being organized, however, please take initiative to write your MPPs or set meetings at their constituency offices in January – they are not in Queen’s Park during this month and are supposed to be available to constituents during this time. For more information please feel free to email: aylan@aylan.ca — Miigwech!
