TORY TO ATTEND RUNCIMAN’S AFTERNOON
IN THE ISLANDS
BROCKVILLE -- John Tory, leader
of the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party,
will be a special guest at this year’s
“Afternoon in the Islands” fund-raiser
for Leeds-Grenville MPP Bob Runciman.
Tory, a former CEO of Rogers Communications
and Commissioner of the Canadian Football League,
was elected leader of the Ontario PCs last summer.
Earlier in his working career, Tory served as
Chief of Staff to former Ontario Premiers Bill
Davis and Frank Miller.
“We’re excited to have John and
his wife Barb attend the event,” said
Runciman. “It gives local people an opportunity
to meet him in an informal setting and getting
to know John is getting to appreciate what an
outstanding premier he can be for our province.”
This year marks the 19th anniversary of the
fund-raising event, held at the Glen House Resort
on the 1000 Islands Parkway on Saturday, August
20, from 3 to 5 p.m.
Tickets to the event can be obtained locally
through Ray McClure at 342-6976 or on line at
