After 4 1/2 years Little Mountain is dangerously close to being shut down by the city zoning enforcement officers. If you have ever been to a show, played a show, shown art, hung out, etc… please help us by writing a letter of support for Little Mountain Gallery and send it to littlemountaingallery at gmail dot com. …We’re collecting as many as we can before we meet councillor Heather Deal on Thursday.

That is, this Thursday, July 28. If you are volunteer/programmer at CiTR, be sure to indicate that in your letter.
