By: Lisa Gervais, The Highlanders<\/p>\n

The Haliburton Highlands Long-Term Care Coalition is planning to join provincial allies for a massive rally at Queen\u2019s Park in September, but wants people to know the deadline for getting a seat on their rally bus is July 20.<\/p>\n

Spokesperson Bonnie Roe said the Ontario Health Coalition and local coalitions such as theirs are \u201cupping the ante\u201d from a citizenled referendum in May.<\/p>\n

During that poll, more than 400,000 Ontarians voted \u2018no\u2019 to health care privatization. In Haliburton County, there were 30 voting stations and 5,504 votes cast. Roe said only 104 people said \u2018yes.\u2019<\/p>\n

However, she said the coalition\u2019s work is not over, \u201cas we need to stop the Ford government\u2019s privatization of our local hospitals.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Ontario Health Coalition is planning a mass protest at noon on Sept. 20 during the opening day for the fall session of the Ontario Legislature.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cWe will fill the lawn with Ontarians from across the province. We need to stand together and raise our voices to let our premier and MPP (Laurie Scott) understand that we are not going away,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

To help with travel, Roe said they are renting a bus from Coach Canada with a washroom.<\/p>\n

She asks members of the public to reserve their place on the bus by July 20 with a deposit of $20.<\/p>\n

Roe said the cost of a full bus of 56 is $55 per person. A tip for the driver is optional. Some subsidies are available if needed.<\/p>\n

She said they would leave at 8 a.m. from the Minden Community Centre and depart Queen\u2019s Park at 2 p.m. People are encouraged to bring beverages, snacks and lunch as eating is not easily accessible.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will be a day to show the value of community engagement and democracy,\u201d Roe said.<\/p>\n

She added privatization is a reality across Ontario and will continue to close hospitals such as the Minden ER.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is our chance once again to represent Haliburton County on this crucial issue. Can we count on you to join us?\u201d Contact Roe at bonnieroe08@gmail.com or 705-457-6579.<\/p>\n
