OHRIA: Stand Up for Ontario Horse Racing!
June 29, 2012
None of us could have imagined we would find ourselves in the posi- tion of having to fight our own gov- ernment to protect our industry and the 60,000 jobs it supports. Over the last five months that has been our reality.
Central Ontario Pleasure Driving Association
Our Industry Needs Your Support Together we have worked hard to raise awareness about the econom- ic benefits horse racing and breeding bring to Ontario, while seeking a number of solutions to protect the industry from the cancellation of the Slots at Racetracks Program. I can report progress in working with the government and opposition parties, but I can’t report success just yet. We know they are beginning to acknowledge the validity of our argu- ments and the strength of our indus- try, but we will continue to need your help to make our case.
The fight on behalf of all those employed by our industry to date has cost OHRIA and our members nearly $500,000 and
there is still much to do. We have benefitted greatly from the fact that the Liberals have a minority govern- ment, and as part of our work need to ensure that they don’t win the by- election coming in Kitchener-Water- loo. With your support, we would have the resources to hire experts who can strengthen our case with the government officials, and continue to build the case for maintaining a
strong horse racing and breeding industry in Ontario.
As an industry, we now need the financial support of those who believe in our cause. If we are to suc- ceed and continue to have the impact we need to, it’s going to take your help.
Support Your Ontario Horse Racing and Breeding Industry. Donate $50, $100 or $200 towards OHRIA’s efforts so that we can con- tinue fighting on your behalf. Click here to donate securely by credit card through PayPal.
If everyone who receives this email donated, we would be in a strong position going forward. Know- ing that not everyone can or will, please ask yourself what protecting the horse racing and breeding indus- try is worth to you when determining your level of support for our industry. Donations can be made by credit card through PayPal by clicking here or by sending cheques payable to “Ontario Horse Racing Industry Association” to OHRIA at 555 Rex- dale Blvd. PO Box 456, Rexdale, Ontario, M9W 5L1.
Thank you again for the support you’ve shown the horse racing and breeding industry to date, I hope I can count on you to continue supporting our efforts.
Sincerely,
Sue Leslie - President and Chair Ontario Horse Racing Industry Asso- ciation

Remembering July1978
Our front cover featured pho- tographs of the Burlington-Aldershot Lions International Horse Show. I noticed the cover price was still only $1.00.
Western World ‘78 was gearing up for the Thanksgiving weekend at Exhibition Place. There were two AQHA approved shows along with an NBRA Reining Futurity, Ontario Rodeo Finals, Ontario Cutting Horse Maturity and a Select Horse Sale. Show Chairman was Harold Mather and Sale contact was George Coverdale.
