Woodworker Mais Lee and volunteers lend a hand to help create letters for a Community Art Project “Screwed” by Trinity-Spadina Member of Parliament Olivia Chow that will highlight the Conservative government’s lack of funding for the TTC and other Toronto priorities.
Join Olivia Chow, M.P. in Kensington Market on Sunday, August 30th, 2009 to help create this art installation that will be presented in Ottawa this fall.
