00:00:00.040Hi everyone, it's Goldie Gabari your MPP for Carleton and I'm here at my
00:00:04.560Queen's Park office and I have some exciting news for everyone in Riverside
00:00:08.240South so come on in. So I have here the petition to build a public high school
00:00:21.080in Riverside South and I am going to be personally presenting it to Minister
00:00:28.520Lisa Thompson herself, the Minister of Education. So I'm really really excited
00:00:33.320about that. Our petition has over 2,500 signatures and this was all done with the
00:00:41.720help and support of Laurie Rogers who actually spearheaded the whole thing and
00:00:46.900here is my letter that I am writing and I'm going to be signing it right now.
00:00:58.520Now that I have this and I have the petition, I'm going to be presenting this personally to the Minister of Education, Lisa Thompson. And I'm really excited about this because you guys have worked so hard to bring this to her attention that she actually personally phoned me. She wants me to give it to her directly so that we can get a response sooner.
00:01:20.840So thank you everyone for all your hard work.
00:01:23.720I campaigned on being a strong voice for you and to make sure that your voices are heard.
00:01:29.000I said that I would always be there to support you and to make sure that a public high school is built.
00:01:34.280And yeah, now it's on the government's radar.
00:01:37.480So I'm really, really excited about that.
