Clayton C. Ruby - Barrister - B.A., LL.B., LL.M.
Mr. Ruby is one of the leaders in Canada law and we are honoured that he has taken the time to address the issue of our legal right to get petitions signed in City parks. The Sierra Legal Defence Fund played the role of contacting Mr. Ruby and making the request for the letter that was sent (Oct. 10/01). We are thankful for this letter as, there is no doubt the City of Mississauga knows it has been put on notice that its actions toward us are being watched. As the City did everything it could to hide this letter not only from the public but even City Councillors, they do take it seriously.
