SARNIA, ON – New Democrat Leader Jack Layton will meet with Mike Bradley, mayor of Sarnia on Thursday, the morning after hosting a town hall to listen to the concerns of local families.

“As one of the communities sitting on the Ontario’s border with Michigan, Sarnia is a manufacturing stronghold and it’s hurting,” said Layton. “Mayor Bradley knows this community better than anyone and he knows where stimulus can be used right now.”

Bradley has been Sarnia’s mayor for over 20 years. During this time, he has been a strong voice for Southwestern Ontario, calling on the federal government for help funding infrastructure projects around the region.
