You might notice a giant horse in front of Barrie City Hall on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

As part of a\u00a0provincewide “Trojan Horse tour,” CUPE\u2019s Ontario Council of Hospital Unions (OCHU-CUPE) and the Ontario Health Coalition are calling for an end to ongoing privatization of hospital surgeries and diagnostic tests. They are\u00a0demanding the government invest in staffing and capacity in public hospitals.<\/p>\n

The 15-foot\u00a0wooden Trojan Horse\u00a0symbolizes\u00a0the \u201cduplicity of the Ontario PCs’ hospital services\u00a0privatization plan,” according to a news release from CUPE.<\/p>\n

Speakers on Wednesday are scheduled to include\u00a0OCHU-CUPE\u00a0first vice-president\u00a0Kevin Cook and local resident Anisa Carrascal, from the\u00a0Simcoe County Health Coalition.<\/p>\n

The event is set to begin at 1 p.m. at city hall, located at 70 Collier St.<\/p>\n
