Greyson over at Social Justice Librarian has blogged about the impending shut down of the CHN. For discussion on why this is a bad, bad idea check out the posts here and here.
The Globe and Mail is on this story as well, and this info was posted in the comments section:
Catherine Bryant from Toronto, Canada writes: Speak out against the closure - join Friends of CHN
Friends of CHN is an ad hoc group whose objective is to focus attention on the closure and its impact, and to try to turn this decision around.
Here’s what you can right now:
1. Join Friends of CHN – send an e-mail to friendsofchn@click4hp.ca. We will occasionally send out updates to everyone who has joined the group to let you know what progress we’ve made and how you can help.
2. Voice your opposition by writing to the Federal Government – for messages and addresses in English see: http://www.blogs.opc.on.ca/?p=204
3. Join the Facebook group (English only so far) to share your support and ideas: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=6400982981
4. Sign the petition: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/saveCHN
5. Tell your friends and colleagues about Friends of CHN
6. Volunteer your talent – let us know what you can do (write letters, talk to the media, connect with government officials, create a website, take notes on a teleconference, etc.) by writing to us at friendsofchn@click4hp.ca or join the Facebook group http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=6400982981 or both.
