Toronto Environmental Alliance

16/11/09 - We have received surprising news. In January 2010, Fleetwood Fine Furniture will move the balance of its domestic manufacturing to Asia while maintaining its Toronto facility as a ‘Custom Design Centre’. Currently, Fleetwood has offshore operations in Malaysia and this move will see all of their manufacturing shipped offshore. This is surprising since in all our communication with Fleetwood this past year, they gave us no indication that this would happen. In fact, they emphasized that they were very proud of being a Canadian manufacturer and had no intention to move. Certainly, we would have liked to see Fleetwood stay and become a green leader in their community.

Hello all, 

I've attached a flyer that you can pass on to your neighbours.  It's an ideal tool to encourage them to write letters and join the campaign.  If you want hard copies and don't have a printer, please let me know and I can drop off some copies in your mailbox. Don't forget to get 5 friends/family members/ neighbours to write them.
