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.

Day of Action on Long-Term Care Thursday October 8 at 11 A.M
From: OntarioHealthCoalition on behalf of Ontario Health Coalition via OntarioHealthCoalition To: [email protected] Subject: [OHC] Urgent Day of Action on Long-Term Care - October 8 please spread the word! Date: Tuesday, September 22, 2020 3:51:18 PM Attachments: ATT00001.txt Please distribute widely Ontario Health Coalition Day of Action on Long-Term Care Thursday October 8 at 11 a.m. Almost 2,000 residents and staff have died as a result of COVID-19 in Ontario's long-term care homes in the last 5 1/2 months. Many died isolated, without enough care, without staff time for emotional support. Long-term care staff have had to fight for access to appropriate PPE and have worked in crisis-level staffing shortages that have only become worse during the pandemic. In Canada, we have seen the highest levels of death in long-term care homes in the developed world. We cannot allow this to continue. Despite repeated promises from Doug Ford, the Ford government has taken no action to deal with emergency staffing shortages and inadequate care levels in long-term care homes. No action has been taken to get care levels up to a safe standard. The majority of deaths in Ontario happened in for-profit long-term care homes yet privatization of new long-term care beds continues. Today, COVID-19 is spreading through long-term care homes in Ottawa, particularly for-profit homes, where after weeks of spreading infection, still the homes have not had all residents and staff tested. Eleven residents have now died in recent weeks in one home and there are more than 100 residents and staff infected across a number of homes.

Since her mea culpa late last year that she “took her eyes of the ball” on hydro-electric prices, Premier Wynne promised to focus her energies on this file and to make hydro more affordable for Ontarians. In the Legislature’s first week back, the opposition parties wasted no time and effort in making sure that the political heat was kept on the Liberals, with Question Period being dominated by this topic. NEW BILLS INTRODUCED BILL 91, STOPPING ELECTRICITY beyond their current expiry date.
