MPP Dave Smith relocates constituency office citing concerns that protests negatively affected adjoining businesses

Demonstrators stand outside MPP Dave Smith's "Action Centre" on Chemong Rd. on Saturday, April 25th.

Peterborough—Kawartha MPP Dave Smith’s “Action Centre” constituency office will be moving, a decision the Progressive Conservative MPP attributes to eleven weeks of constant protest outside his current Chemong Road office.

Smith said that the repeated demonstrations had a negative effect on neighbouring businesses in the Chemong Rd. plaza, and that when the constituency office’s lease came up for renewal, his landlord made that clear.

As a result, Smith team’s elected to move to a new location on Reid Street.

Listen to hear the MPP speak more to why.
