All

Toronto: There's
an All Candidates Meeting with the frontrunners for Toronto's
top job that will include an advance poll with a difference -
people will have a chance to listen to the contenders and then
vote with their favourite 'cookie'.
That's
right - cookie. Barbara Hall is a Walnut Chocolate Chip, Tom
Jakobek is an Oatmeal Double Raisin, David Miller is a Power
Cookie, John Nunziata is Triple Chocolate Chip while John Tory
is Oatmeal Chocolate Chip.
And
not only do you get to exercise your civic duty but you also
help support a very worthwhile cause - the Hospital for Sick
Children.
The
All Candidates Meeting is being held at the Joseph J Piccininni
(JJP) Community Centre on Tuesday October 28th at 8:00 pm and
is being organized by the St Clair West Revitalization Committee
(SWRC) and the JJP Advisory Council.
The
advance poll is being conducted by World Class Bakers, a favourite
spot for pastry and coffee located at St Clair West and Christie
- and MyStClair.com, a community-based website.
"Each
of the cookies was personally selected by each of the candidates,"
states John Pampas of World Class Bakers, "We've been running
our Cookies for Kids event at the bakery for a few weeks now
and people really seem to enjoy it - so If you can't make the
meeting you can still drop by our place and cast your vote.
Our polls are open everyday until 11:00 pm."
"When
I saw what John was doing at his bakery cafe, it seemed like
a good idea to bring it to the All Candidates Meeting," says Tony
Bolla, the principal behind MyStClair.com. "There are a lot
of serious issues effecting the communities of St Clair and
this was an opportunity to add a little bit of fun. And it's
for a real good cause."
"That's
right', adds John, "So vote early and vote often."
World
Class Bakers, located at 690 St Clair Avenue West at the Christie
intersection, offers a range of delicious pastries and a great
place to discuss local politics over a cookie and a coffee. The
Cookies for Kids fundraising promotion for the Hospital For Sick
Children is on everyday until the election - and they are open
to 11:00 pm every night.
MyStClair.com
is a community-based website that provides information on a
range of community concerns, including plans for the St Clair
streetcar and the Wychwood Carbarns, as well as listings of
events and other matters of interest to the communities along
St Clair and the Ridge - from Bayview to Scarlett Road. (http://www.mystclair.com
