District A711 Lions Convention April 15-17 2011

I have just realized that our 10TH Annual District Lions Convention is only one week away.This year there has been a change of Venue.We will be gathering at the Delta Meadowvale Resort & Conference Centre 6750 Mississauga Road in Mississauga Ontario Canada. Registration is still ongoing up to and including the Friday aftenoon and closing at 8:00PM. Guests must be registered to attend the hospitality suites and registered members only can vote on Sunday Morning. Each Club elects delegates based upon their membership totals. The event kicks off on Friday evening with opening ceremonies followed by a wonderful hospitality night hosted by various clubs and Individuals. The cost for the weekend is $15.00 and I believe there is complimentary parking in additionto various programs and presenters.

Personally I have scaled back my activities at the Cabinet Level but I do believe that the Convention is an excellent way to introduce new prospects to a dedicated organization and let them witness first hand the scope of activities that each club engages in.
More Information can be obtained by calling 905-826 5013 or contacting myself directly.Registration forms can be obtained at www.A711Lions.ca

Colombian Travels 2010-2011

I am a firm believer in breaking up the long Winter we experience in Canada. Colombia has been my destination of choice for many years Mountains Plains Coastal areas are only part of the types of terrain one can experience often with only a few hundred kilometers form each other. I often visit galleries nightclubs restaurants as well as platy tennis this idea of a winter break is not new though the results speak for themselves. I generally return recharged invigorated as well as with renewed energy to tackle the daily tasks of Business.
You will certainly agree that the southern climes will always assist you in obtaining that balance which is so important in maintaining a higher quality of life.I will post some sites to visit for those who are more curious

Soaring Insurance Rates

Soaring Insurance Rates?
Say NO to Credit Scoring on Personal Property Insurance

A growing number of insurers are using a person’s credit score to measure their insured risk on personal property insurance. This has led to an increase in insurance premiums or a denial of insurance outright to many Ontario citizens.


The use of credit scoring impacts consumers who can least afford it. Most affected are newcomers to Canada, the unemployed, single income families and small business owners utilizing lines of credit. The use of credit scoring is not in the public interest.

Ontario does not allow this practice in auto insurance and it should not be allowed for home or other personal lines.


New Brunswick and Newfoundland have announced they are banning the practice entirely and the Insurance Brokers Association of Ontario (IBAO) is asking the Ontario Government to do the same.

We are asking you to reach out to your local Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP). You will find all of the necessary points of reference below which will properly prepare you for this outreach.

Have you recently noticed that your insurance premiums have increased? It might be because of your credit score. Check with your insurance company to see if they measure your rate by including your credit score as a major factor.


We also suggest contacting your local MPP. Your MPP may be surprised to hear, as are many Canadians, that this practice is taking place. We’ve included some key points below, which you can refer to during your meeting.


Write to your MPP and request a meeting. This issue rests in the hands of Ontario’s key decision makers and we need to bring awareness to the situation. Your involvement will show Ontario’s decision makers the severity of this issue and illustrate just how many Canadian families are being affected by this practice.


I am asking that you put an end to this unfair practice and ban the use of credit scoring to determine the price I pay for my property insurance.


Contact your MPP
Visit: www.elections.on.ca to find your electoral district and MPP contact information.

Your initial step should be to write to your MPP to request a meeting. Stress that you would like meet with them to discuss this important issue in the next few weeks.

Check out this website for further information, on this link you can find a form letter to send to your MPP to contact them as was mentioned above:
