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 www.lgprovpc.ca.
