The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) has restructured its Ontario operations due to the departure of CTF-Ontario director Brian Kelcey. Effective immediately, Ontario media and fundraising operations will be headquartered out of the CTF federal office in Ottawa.

"We are confident that CTF Federal Director Walter Robinson will ably convey our message to Ontario taxpayers through the Ontario media in the forthcoming provincial election campaign," stated CTF National Communications Director Troy Lanigan. "Since opening our Ottawa office two years ago, Mr. Robinson has elevated our national profile and he is now perceived as one of Canada's most articulate speakers on public policy and taxpayer issues."

 

Later this month Mr. Robinson will travel to Toronto for a series of media appearances and editorial board meetings. In addition, twice-monthly visits are planned for locations throughout southern and southwestern Ontario to ensure that the CTF plays a constructive role in Ontario politics, both at the provincial and municipal level.

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is a federally incorporated non-partisan and not-for-profit advocacy and research organization. Its three-fold mandate is to:
 

• act as a watchdog on government spending
   
• advocate fiscal and democratic reforms, and
   
• mobilize taxpayers to exercise their democratic rights and responsibilities.

In just under ten years the CTF has grown to become Canada' s largest and most effective taxpayer advocacy organization with 80,000 supporters from coast to coast. A complete record of CTF policy positions and accomplishments can be found at http://www.taxpayer.com.
