Over the past week, our community has been shaken by the attempted abductions in our neighbourhood. Parents lost sleep. Many stayed home from work to personally walk their children to and from school. Phones buzzed through the night with messages of concern, waking families up to one of a parent’s worst nightmares.  We, the co-chairs, have taken action by sending  this Letter to our MP, Premier, MPP, Mayor, and Councillor , making it clear that Lucas Petrini must not be released into our community—or any community—again. His hearing is set for March 12th so we need as much pressure on officials as possible to ensure he isn't our released on bail and our voices are heard.  We encourage you to take a moment to write to your local representatives demanding that steps be taken to protect our children and neighborhoods.
