It appears from what people are saying that the idea of holding a big demonstration in Saskatoon outside the SARM convention might be too difficult to organize - it is a long way for people to go, especially as you would have to be there by 9.00 am. However, make sure all the rural councillors you know are prepared to reprimand the Premier and Cabinet on the 14th when they are at the convention.

Another possibility, which may be easier to organize, would be for all the groups to coordinate rallies outside their own school division office - all on the same day at the same time, and to inform the TV stations, newspapers, etc. that this is going to happen. It also would be an effective way of getting media attention.

Even if there is only one school "on the block" in your division, you would likely be able to get folks from other communities in your area to join you. In the divisions where there are 11 or 12 schools under review, it should be easy to get enough concerned people to make a good showing.
