To: Mississauga South NDP Membership, Executive

It is with a great deal of sadness and regret that I must inform you of my decision to resign as President of the Mississauga South New Democratic Party Riding Association. It may seem to you that I am doing this at a very wrong time with the Federal Election underway. But, I believe that it is never the right time. With an extremely challenging and hectic schedule where I work the fact of the matter is that I will not have time to devote to the election.

I have devoted many years of my life as a NDP member, riding executive officer and working on campaigns as both a volunteer and a candidate etc. In fact running as a candidate in Mississauga South has been one of the finest and rewarding experiences of my life. I have given this tremendous thought and must resign for very personal reasons.

Over the years I have made many friends inside the NDP and am very pleased about that. I wish you well in both your personal and political endeavours.

I thank you all for your kind support which will always be remembered and greatly appreciated.

In Solidarity

Ken Cole
