This video and audio conference session will also be held live on the Internet. To view the webcast, go to //www.distance.mun.ca/townhall/ or to www.gov.nl.ca

The session, scheduled for 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., will link the minister with the communities of St. Anthony, Port aux Basques, Clarenville, Burin and Whitbourne. In Whitbourne, it will be held at the Dr. William H. Newhook Memorial Clinic. In each of the other locations, the session will be held at the community college.

Facilities at Memorial University�s Telemedicine/TETRA facilities in St. John�s will be used for the session.

If the blizzard that is forecast for the Avalon and Burin Peninsula regions tomorrow forces cancellation of the session, a public announcement will be made on radio.
