The southern Vancouver Island segment of the provincial Kill HST campaign has reached agreements with both Serious Coffee and A&W restaurants on the Island to set up petitions within the store locations. "Right now we're just working on the logistics -- when we can ensure we will have canvassers there on site," said campaign organizer Brad Slade, who hoped details would be worked out by mid-week. The agreements will allow canvassers with petitions to set up shop within the Island's 25 Serious Coffee locations and eight A&W locations to collect signatures. The exceptions will be stores within shopping malls.
