Can the form be signed anywhere and brought to City Hall, or must it be signed there?

Good question Owl. I will check this out later this week or early next.

I seems that the Provincial Government in collusion with the Municipalities changed the percentage of Voters that are required to get a petition through. Seems to me that the Terasen Gas Petition only required 3000 signatures.

5535 is a high number to attain.

First round goes to City Hall.
