TORONTO, Sept. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Ontario Federation of Labour (OFL) is hosting the first in a series of Town Halls about building “The Ontario We Need.” The first event will take place tonight at 5:30PM in Belleville. Tonight’s town hall will be hosted by OFL President, Laura Walton, in partnership with the Quinte Labour Council.
