  • Thursday October 8 at 11 A.M
    Please distribute widely. Updated as of September 30. Ontario Health Coalition UPDATED LIST BELOW Day of Action on Long-Term Care Thursday October 8 at 11 a.m. We are calling for: • Immediate action by the Ford government to recruit & train staff, improve pay and working conditions and provide full-time work. Quebec's and BC's governments have already done this. There is no excuse for further delay. The conditions of work are the conditions of care. • The Ford government to implement a minimum care standard of 4-hours of hands-on care per resident per day. • Both our federal and provincial governments to end for-profit long-term care, starting by making Revera public. The funding and staffing announcements this week so far increase the money but the announced staffing is far less than needed and strings are not attached to ensure that care levels are actually increased. There is no clear recruitment plan and the updated visitor policy does nothing to stabilize the workforce or increase the care per resident. What we are calling for has not changed, and is needed now more than ever before. Join the 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. 15 Gervais Drive, Suite 201, Toronto, Ontario M3C 1Y8 Tel: 416-441-2502 Email: [email protected] Web: www.ontariohealthcoalition.ca UPDATED LIST OF EVENTS, PLEASE JOIN IN: If you would like to organize an action in your area, in accordance with our safety guidelines and Public Health rules, please contact us at 416-441-2502 or [email protected] (with the subject line: DAY OF ACTION) Current Public Health guidelines forbid groups of more than 25 outside across Ontario.

  • “They Demanded — Under Duress — That We Stop Supporting Belinda ​[​Karahalios​]. We Are Appalled at This Bullying An
    Queen’s Park Today – Daily Report August 20, 2020 Quotation of the day “They demanded — under duress — that we stop supporting Belinda [Karahalios]. We are appalled at this bullying and abuse ​ ​ ​ of power. It is a direct attack on our democracy!” The now-derecognized PC riding association in Cambridge sends out flyers attacking Premier Doug Ford and the PC Party over alleged "intimidation tactics." ​ Today at Queen’s Park Written by Sabrina Nanji On the schedule The house reconvenes on Monday, September 14. The roster for the Select Committee on Emergency Management Oversight — which will scrutinize ongoing extensions of emergency orders via Bill 195 — has been named. The ​ ​ majority-enjoying PC side will feature Bob Bailey, Christine Hogarth, Daryl Kramp, Robin ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Martin, Sam Oosterhoff, Lindsey Park and Effie Triantafilopoulos. The New Democrat ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ members are Gilles Bisson, Sara Singh and Tom Rakocevic; Liberal MPP John Fraser will ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ take up the Independent spot. The committee was struck as an accountability measure because the PCs empowered themselves to amend or extend the emergency orders for up to the next two years, without requiring a vote or debate in the legislature. Bill 195, the enabling law, also requires the premier ​ ​ or a designate of his choosing to appear at the special committee to justify any changes to the sweeping emergency orders. Premier watch An RFP for the next leg of the Eglinton Crosstown tunnelling project will be issued today. Premier Doug Ford announced the move in Mississauga Tuesday alongside cabinet’s ​ ​ transportation overseers Caroline Mulroney and Kinga Surma. ​ ​ ​ ​ Three construction consortiums have already been shortlisted and are now able to present their detailed costing plans to Infrastructure Ontario.

Each of us are owners of dance & performing arts schools serving children of all ages and adults by providing extracurricular activities in dance disciplines including ballet, jazz, tap, contemporary and more. As the COVID-19 pandemic progressed, each of us closed to protect our students, ending in-studio instruction, cancelling year end performances and dance competitions that students have been preparing for since the beginning of our season. The long-term health of our dance communities depends on our coordinated focus to enact the necessary precautions and begin serving our patrons with the prescribed measures in-person as soon as possible. Recognizing the risk of spread of COVID-19 in group environments, we know that granting us permission to re-open can only be done with the assurance that we are taking the right measures to ensure the prevention of spread, the protection of our staff and students, and by extension their families.
