Cities across Ontario are rejecting attacks on our rights—welcome to the right side of this one, Guelph!
ALT We are having some success pushing back! Cities across Ontario are rejecting attacks on our rights: - County of Brant, Orillia, Hamilton, Toronto, Smith Falls, Goderich, and now Guelph Councils have rejected use of the Notwithstanding Clause. - The Mayor of St. Thomas has rescinded support of using the Notwithstanding Clause. - Councils like Guelph have backed this up with support for Overdose Prevention/Safe Consumption Sites. - More motions are coming in Chatham-Kent and Niagara Region! the above text on a textured yellow background. At the top, a blue text with the text “We will withstand this together” over it. the DJNO logo at the bottom.
