Alongside rural councilors from the city of Ottawa, a rally in support of Ontario's partnership with the horse racing industry has been planned for Wednesday, February 29 at the Ottawa office of Premier Dalton McGuinty
.
Horsemen and interested participants are invited to join National Capital Region Harness Horsemen's Association representatives for this rally. The group will meet at the Rideau Carleton Raceway grandstand 10 a.m. on Wednesday, at which time an information package will be provided to all participants, before proceeding peacefully (transportation will be provided) to Premier McGuinty’s office at 1795 Kilborn Avenue in an attempt to have our collective voices heard.
The NCRHHA has been working diligently to deliver our message to government officials and the general public, committing to follow the strategy laid out by the Ontario Horse Racing Industry Association. The NCRHHA feels that Sue Leslie and her team at OHRIA are the most experienced and knowledgeable in terms of government and its relationship to horse racing.
Please note that the racetrack at Rideau Carleton will be closed at 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday for training and jogging.
The NCRHHA would like to thank everyone for working so hard to get the proper message out to the public. For more information, contact the NCRHHA office at 613-822-6819 or by email at [email protected].
