HUNTSVILLE — Parry Sound-Muskoka MP Tony Clement will be hosting a Marching for Veterans event tomorrow (April 12) at his Huntsville constituency office, accepting and packing donations for a shipment to our soldiers serving in Latvia on a NATO mission.

Drop off Marching for Veterans donations at Tony Clement’s office in Huntsville April 12.

Toiletries, snacks, lip balms, sunblock, towels, socks, sweats and sewing kits are welcome – along with letters and cards of support that would mean a lot to our soldiers serving far away from home.
