A total of 931 people registered. Given that there were quite a few people who did not bother registering, we can safely say we were close to 1000. Incredible.

Question, there is a coalition of community associations which is excellent, will representatives from the RCMP musical ride, Police college, Rockcliffe Airport, Montfort hospital and other concerned parties- school parent councils, local business associations be part of a larger collaborative effort? I may have missed it at Wednesday's meeting but I did not see any representatives from these locations except for the Rockcliffe boat club. PS the buttons are great and i have had many people talk to me about the bridge as a result Great effort by everyone.

It had a great psychological effect on making the crowd feel unified behind a common cause. Great last minute effort, talk about rallying the troops! :) A BIG THANKS to Gisele and Alan (and the rest of the group) for making the amazing eye catching buttons.

It was an amazing turn-out! Thank you to everyone who took the time to come out and stand up for our communities.
