Elizabeth May is Coming to Ambleside

 

One of the regrets I have is missing the opportunity to hear Tommy Douglas speak in 1968 on Vancouver Island. My father, who lived in Northern Ontario and was an avid CCF member, admired him. I guess I thought Tommy Douglas would be around for a while; it was summer, there were other things to do. Years later I realized I had missed out and would nevhear him speak. 

Elizabeth May will be speaking here next week on
