In a continuing effort to support Ontario Racing’s efforts in lobbying the Ontario Provincial Government to resume racing, Standardbred Canada (SC) asked Ontario SC members to take action and contact their elected MPPs in this web notice last week.

If you haven’t had the time to contact your MPP yet, please seriously consider doing so. We have an alternate, shorter letter for you to send, or if you would like to phone your MPP, that would also be extremely helpful.

SC appreciates the efforts of our membership in contacting our Government officials to generate awareness and understanding of the gravity of the current situation in the industry. We’ve had a great response to the web notice, landing it atop the list of most read SC’s stories over the last week and a 100 percent open rate on an eFlyer sent to more than 2,400 Ontario members. We have been copied on correspondence some members have sent to their respective MPPs, and many have shared their responses. We also appreciate the great feedback and additional suggestions on how we can move forward.
