​Leonard MacGuigan helped to distribute “Chew on This” bags in downtown Charlottetown on Oct. 17, the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. Janet McDonald and Maureen & Brad Goodick did a similar distribution in Cornwall. Each bag contained an apple, a refrigerator magnet and a postcard to be sent to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The cross-Canada event is sponsored by two national organizations, Canada Without Poverty and Citizens for Public Justice. The P.E.I. event is sponsored by the P.E.I. Coalition for a Poverty Eradication Strategy and the MacKillop Centre for Social Justice, both headed by Mary Boyd.
