One day recently a young woman arrived on her bicycle. Her legs were swollen and bruised. She had no shoes. She came to us, tired, hungry and wondered if we could help her. We don't know what led her to this situation. We just know that she was in desperate need for our help and that we have the privilege of being here to respond with love, compassion and practical support. Our team of staff and volunteers welcomed her with open arms and loving hearts. She left with a box full of healthy food options and an invitation to become part of our community and to participate in some of our programs. This story sounds unbelievable, and it is hard to imagine that this type of hopelessness exists in in our Oakville community. The sad truth is that this story is becoming more common - over the last few months we have seen an increase in the number of people in distress and in desperate need of our love and support. Did you know that approximately 450 individuals or families shop at the KSM market each month? Our food market distributes over $600,000 of food annually. We are always in need of financial gifts and food donations to help ensure our markets are stocked for our neighbours in need. Please donate if you can. To learn more about KSM, or how you can help - please reach out to us @ 905.845.7485 or visit www.kerrstreet.com Kerr Street Mission 485 Kerr Street, Oakville P: 905.845.7485 Charitable Reg. No. 897106845RR0001 situation of being a new riding. Typically, when an election takes place in a riding where there was an incumbent that wasn't re- elected, the new MPP as- sumes the lease and the of- fice of the outgoing MPP, according to Triantafilo- poulos. "This was the first time Oakville North-Burling- ton as a riding, provincial- ly, came into existence," she said, noting she and her team had been active- ly looking for a new space before acquiring the one at 2525 Old Bronte Rd. - co- incidentally also the site of her temporary office. The permanent space, which is currently under construction she said, will be located on the fifth floor of the building and is expected to be open early in 2019. "We will have a formal announcement (for that)," she said, adding it had been a challenge with the current state of the real estate market in her rid- ing to find an office. After not seeing a local office address listed on her Legislative Assembly of Ontario page online, some residents said they tried reaching out to Triantafilopoulos on Facebook after their email and phone attempts went unanswered. Alex Medley, a 30-year- old Oakville resident, is a member of the Oakville chapter of the Fight for $15 and Fairness community group and wanted to speak to local MPPs Craw- ford and Triantafilopou- los about the group's ob- jections to province's pro- posed rollback of Bill 148 and keeping the minimum wage at $14. He said he had no prob- lems setting up a meeting with Crawford, but hasn't heard back from Trianta- filopoulos since emailing her executive assistant Mason Saunders on Oct. 16 and posting to her Face- book page on Oct. 18. "I felt like this is in line with the sort of secrecy that (has) become charac- teristic of conservative governments and I feel like they're ignoring us and it made me feel like they really don't care about minimum wage workers," he said. On Sept. 12, Deborah Longo LaPlante posted on Triantafilopoulos' Face- book page she had sent the MPP two emails that have gone unanswered. On a post dated Aug. 25, Joseph Tam wrote he was "extremely disappointed from the lack of response from your office to my email (sent Aug. 3, 2018) regarding the matter of graphic anti-abortion fly- ers being distributed in Oakville North." Tam told the newspa- per he received a response from Triantafilopoulos' NEWS RESIDENTS SAID THEY TRIED REACHING OUT ON FACEBOOK AFTER EMAIL, PHONE ATTEMPTS WENT UNANSWERED Continued from page 12 See - page 37
