the time is now

LOTS on the go in Milton

Mike Cluett

There are a number of things going on in Milton to say the least.

First off is the Time is NOW Grow Milton Hospital Rally slated for April 16th at 10 AM in Victoria Park (right beside Milton Town Hall) and the effort to collect as many signatures as possible on a pettion to strongly urge the provincial government to approve the expansion of Milton District Hospital.

You will see a number of people around town in the malls and on the streets working hard to collect signatures on the petition.  Please sign the petition and take one of our lawn signs to help raise awareness of the rally (its actually quite a cool looking sign too) and help Milton be unified in its voice at Queens Park.

More information on the rally can be found at www.growmiltonhospital.com including our Facebook pages, follow us on Twitter and request YOUR sign as well.

The day before the rally on the 16th is Milton Makeover Day 2011.  On Friday April 15th at 9AM our Ward 6 team (which seems to grow every day) will meet at McDuffe Park (4th Line/Clark Blvd) and do our part to help keep Milton clean.  Depending on how many people we get that day we will work on McDuffe Park and hopefully down towards Louis St Laurent between 4th Line and Thompson Road.  Despite the construction of the new school, there is still a lot of work to be done to keep this area clean as well.

For more information on our Milton Makeover Day for Ward 6 email freemantrailfamilty@yahoo.ca and she will get you signed up.

In June of course we have the Downtown Street Festival June 4th which includes the second annual TIGERFEST wrestling event and more activities than I can post here.  You can go here for more information on becoming a vendor, a volunteer or see what you’ll be missing if you DONT go.

Taking a deep breath here…

Finally on June 11th there is going to be a concert at the Milton Fairgrounds for Milton Rocks 2011 which is a benefit to raise money for Milton District Hospital.  www.miltonrocks.com

So as you can see there is no shortage of events and opportunities for you to get involved in your community, help out and even have a ton of fun!

UPDATE:  APRIL 5TH 2011

CupcakeMommies were out in full force recently getting signatures on the petition for THE TIME IS NOW rally for Milton District Hospital.  THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

You might have noticed over the weekend that there are a number of “The Time Is NOW” signs popping up on lawns in Milton.  Many thanks to those who allowed their lawns, especially during a federal election, to be used to host this important message.

You can pick up yours by emailing me mike@mikecluett.ca and for more information you can go to www.growmiltonhospital.com

The rally is slated for Saturday April 16th at 10AM by town hall.  Signatures for the petition are also gaining speed and you still have time to sign.  Contact us and maybe YOU can join others in letting the provincial government know that The Time Is Now to Grow Milton Hospital.

The Time Is NOW

Mike Cluett

As you might have already read in the Milton Canadian Champion and the Halton Compass this week, mark the date of Saturday April 16th at 10AM on your calendar.

There will be a citizens rally for the expansion of Milton District Hospital at Victoria Park (just outside Milton Town Hall) to show support of MDH and to send a message to the provincial government that “The Time Is Now” for approval.

Numerous studies have been completed by Halton Healthcare Services over the years that clearly outlines the fact we need a bigger hospital to help deliver healthcare services to the people of Milton.  Promises have been made over these years with nothing in return.

With the coming provincial budget and election this year, we feel that this is the perfect time to let the voices of Miltonians be heard.

Here is the link to the petition we will be getting signed by as many Milton residents as possible to deliver to the provincial government by our MPP Ted Chudleigh.  MPP Chudleigh is no stranger to voicing the concerns of residents in his riding when it comes to hospital expansion as he has been a strong advocate for MDH expansion.

You can also join the Facebook group as well by going here.

Again join us on the 16th of April at Victoria Park to speak out and let the provincial government know that “The Time Is NOW!!”

There will also be lawn signs available for you to show your support and advertise the event.  Email me or post your address on this blog post if you would like yours.
