Day Of Action On Long Term Care
The Ontario Health Coalition is organizing a Day Of Action to create political pressure to expose the lack of action to improve care in long-term care and to push for an end to for-profit privatization of long-term care.
Current Public Health guidelines forbid groups of more than 25 outside across Ontario. In accordance with these rules, we will hold press conferences and car motorcades. Please call the numbers below or email if you can join in, and please join in with as many friends as you can. We will ask most people to be in their cars, you can make the protest visual by affixing signs and decorating your car (safely) with messages about the need to improve long-term care and make it public. Please do call your local coalition and confirm you are coming out. More events are being organized every day. The OHC will send out updates and will post them to their webpage and Facebook.
In Toronto, participants are gathering outside Queen’s Park on Grosvenor St., Wellesley Ave and Queen’s Park Circle.
NB: The car cavalcade in Toronto will start at 9:30 a. m. and the press conference will start at 9:45. Events elsewhere will start at 11.
Call Megan (647) 549-3683 or the OHC office at (416) 441-2502
