E Minus 200: Ontario Election Readiness Continues

With less than 200 days until the Ontario Provincial Election, we can now say that the campaign starts now. It's the first fixed-date election for Ontario so, realistically, this campaign has really been in effect since the fall of 2003. However, those involved in politics at all levels can be excused for taking time out to, say, focus on a federal election or maybe a municipal campaign along the way. So, instead of blogging (not that I've ever been that consistent at it), I while the hours doing the little and the large things that I believe will help us put a Tory MPP back in my riding.

We've all been working extremely hard over the past year and we've overcome some monumental setbacks with a small but mighty organization. We've made tremendous strides to update and upgrade our riding association in terms of our accessibility, outreach and fundraising. With, still, much more to accomplish, we believe we're ready and in the hunt.

One of the key developments was the establishment of a website, the first of its kind in the riding... ever. Now, as a hobbyist with a vision, it took a little skunkworking to fall in line with the look and feel of the provincial site, OntarioPC.com and, since a mid spring AGM meant little immediate development, the site was up and running by October. I was so thrilled in January to learn of a new design.

Back to square one.

Earlier this month, the new design was ready. It reflects the theme of the Party with the feel of the riding.

Keep watching the site for news on a spring breakfast event. Details to be hammered out within a few days.

From here on in... the ground game takes on a much larger role. This association's up for it!
