Sisters and Brothers,
The Socialist Party of Ontario has its founding/organising convention this Saturday at the Bond Place Hotel, 65 Dundas Street East and there is also a social on Friday evening starting at 7 pm in the back room of the Imperial Pub across the street at 54 Dundas Street East ($5 donation requested) . Our special guest will be Irish socialist MP Joe Higgins who will be making a few brief comments at the social and the keynote address at the convention.
The link below is to the agenda for the convention this Saturday, May 28th.
Please note that people are welcome all during the day. You need not register at the start of the day to attend. If you are late, or can only attend for specific parts of the day, that is fine.
Members with full voting rights can attend for free (suggested annual donation $25). To become a member, if you have not already registered as one, one need only state one's intent to be a member at registration on the day itself. There is no obstacle to becoming a member if you are already a member of another party or political grouping. In fact, as a non-sectarian leftist party we welcome all leftists. Observers are also welcome (suggested donation $35),
