A letter from Marian Dodds, Retired Teacher, to Bev Oda, Minister for International Cooperation

Bev Oda
Minister for International Cooperation
Government of Canada

Dear Ms Oda

I am writing to urge you to expedite CIDA funding for the Canadian Council for International Cooperation (CCIC). CCIC is absolutely a necessary voice in Canada for NGO’s working in international development and I was very upset to learn that their funding is in jeopardy.

The first annual Vancouver People's Summit will be hosted at this coming Car Free Day. We wanted to invite your team to take part in this exciting day of G8/G20 activism. We are hopeful that this emerging partnership with the folks at Car Free Day will strengthen the NGO/civil society in Vancouver and provide an incredible networking opportunity.
