SUMMARY:Fill the Ontario Legislature
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nThe situation is extremely urgent\nCome to the Ontario Legislature\n\nAt stake is our single tier public medicare & the services and funding in our local public hospitals.

If we don’t fight back we are going to lose public medicare.\nPlease spread the word. Please come out if you can and if you do not live close to Toronto, please host a Legislature Watch event in your community and invite the media. Speak out. Do everything you can to pour on the pressure.\nFor more information, please read the full article at this link:  https://armch12osstf.ca/items-of-interest/ontario-health-coalition-fill-the-ontario-legislature-oct-29/ ( https://armch12osstf.ca/items-of-interest/ontario-health-coalition-fill-the-ontario-legislature-oct-29/ )\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \nWednesday, October 29 Itinerary\n\n9:00 a.m.   Arrive at Queen’s Park security (or as soon after 9 a.m. as you can)\n9 – 9:30 a.m.   Start to go through security to fill the Public Galleries in the Legislature\n10:00 a.m. Fill the Public Galleries.\nWe will be welcomed in the Legislature by various political parties and MPPs.\nWatch Question Period where the Premier and Health Minister will have to answer questions from the Opposition Parties about what they are doing\n12:00 p.m. Lunch\n1:00 p.m.   Press conference in the media studio of the Legislature\n2:00 p.m.   We will be finished and ready to leave at this time\n\nPlease RSVP as soon as possible\nPlanning to attend? Please RSVP as soon as possible by emailing back in response to this email (to info@OntarioHC.ca) with your name and the town/city you are from.
