The Ontario Health Coalition (OHC) is staging protests across the province in relation to a new bill proposed by the Ford\u00a0government.<\/p>\n

Bill 175 would privatize and remove oversight for home and community care, while Bill 161 would make it harder to launch class-action lawsuits against private companies, including for-profit long-term care homes where so many have died during the\u00a0pandemic.<\/p>\n

The OHC has been critical of the Province’s handling of long-term care facilities, which have been hit especially hard due to the\u00a0pandemic.<\/p>\n

Currently, several protests are scheduled for cities across Ontario on July\u00a02.<\/p>\n

The Ontario Health Coalition will hold a press conference outside Queen\u2019s Park–Main Legislative Building–at 10 a.m. Those in attendance will be expected to adhere to physical distancing guidelines, including wearing face masks–attendees are encouraged to bring signs that highlight key\u00a0issues.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

The Hamilton Health Coalition rally is happening at noon outside MPP Donna Skelly\u2019s office, at 2000 Garth St. Those in attendance will be required to adhere to physical distancing guidelines, and masks will be available for those who need\u00a0them.<\/p>\n

The Peterborough Health Coalition media conference is happening at 11 a.m. at King Edward Park, George Street South. Those planning to attend will meet in the shade and follow physical distancing guidelines, including wearing\u00a0masks.<\/p>\n

The Waterloo Region Health Coalition is holding a sidewalk protest at noon near MPP Amy Fee\u2019s office at 4281 King Street East in Kitchener. Those in attendance will be required to adhere to physical distancing guidelines including wearing face masks–participants are encouraged to bring signs that highlight key\u00a0issues.<\/p>\n

The Oxford Coalition for Social Justice will hold a rally at noon outside MPP Ernie Hardeman\u2019s office at 12 Perry Street, in Woodstock. Those in attendance will be required to adhere to physical distancing guidelines including wearing\u00a0masks.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the Niagara Health Coalition is organizing a press conference for 9:30 a.m. on July 3 outside Garden City Manor, 168 Scott Street in Saint Catharines. Those in attendance will be required to adhere to physical distancing guidelines, including wearing\u00a0masks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
