Those declaring their sup- port for McLeod include Algo- ma Manitoulin MPP Mike Brown, Kenora's' Frank Miclash, former Minister of Northern Development René Fontaine, past Port Arthur MPP Taras Kozyra, and Thunder Bay Nipigon MP Joe Comuzzi. "Lyn McLeod held ministe- rial portfolios that were crucial to the development of the North," said Mike Brown. "I was always confident that the interests of the North were well represented as long as Lyn had a seat around the Cabinet table." Frank Miclash was impressed with the way McLeod could balance the var- ied interests of the province. "Lyn is a friend to the North as she is a friend to all regions of the province. When she was in cabinet, the concerns of one region were never sacrificed for the interests of another. That's what Ontario is looking for in a Premier," said Mr. Miclash. René Fontaine, who worked with McLeod in the Cabinet from 1987-1990, said that McLeod was a strong voice for the North. The Agenda will include: Reports of Committees Election of Officers Appointment of Auditor Ministry approval Schreiber Community Credit Union Limited NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING Schreiber Community Credit Union Limited will hold its Annual Meeting Monday, November 18, 1991 at 7:00 p.m. in the Credit Union Office, lower level.

"Lyn could be counted on to consult with the people and then do the right thing. "You learn a lot about an MPP if her riding neighbours yours," said Taras Kozyra. "Lyn always remembered that her first duty was to serve her constituents." The Liberal leadership cam- paign is expected to start offi- cially in mid-November culmi- nating in a February Leadership Selection Convention.
