International Toronto Conference, with John DiNino ATU Canada
A discussion took place, without President John DiNino who was dealing with other Union Business. The discussion focused on doing it in Toronto or Niagra Falls, in October. A suggestion was made to reachout to the locals (by way of the office of the president) to find out if they would attend this event and how many would you send. Sandi from the area of interest says that they would recommend Toronto over Niagra due to traffic on the weekends. Sandi is going to be a key person to help with planning, mentioned local #113 & resources. The ATU Store was promoted as a possible place to order items. October 14th is Canadian Thanksgiving.
