After having read Jessica's blog (@ Victoria) about how she contacted her MP to get some Canadian souvenirs, I thought I'd try it too and see what they can give me. And so, I contacted my MP, my MPP, my City Councillors and even the Mayor. I had great responses, for the most part anyway. The only one that didn't reply was the office of the MP- ahem... Alan Tonks, (it certainly makes me re-think whether or not I should re-elect the Liberal Party in my riding) ...lol.

So I am now armed with several Ontario pins, an Ontario Flag and tonnes of City of Toronto pins-- hoping to give away as little memorabilias to the AIESECers in India :)

I highly encourage anyone out there who will be leaving the country to contact their local MP, MPP or city councillor - you can find their email addresses on the net-- and see what free stuff they can give you. I must say that they're extremely supportive and very helpful.
