own version of the sample letter, to your MP calling on the Government

community and country.
Please also read

Please add your
name, full mailing address (with postal code), and telephone number
(with area code) at the bottom of you letter. That way the MP knows
that you are one of his or her constituents.
In the next 13
weeks, I will be sending more sample letters and petitions. You are
encouraged to put the message into your own words.
You can locate
the name and address of your MP by calling 1-866-599-4999.

can ask to have your call transferred to your MP's Ottawa office.
