UFCW Canada activists from across Ontario joined thousands of health care professionals and community and labour allies at a major rally in support of keeping Ontario\u2019s health care system public.<\/p>\n

Participants gathered on the lawns of the Ontario Legislature to protest the Ford government\u2019s health care restructuring plans and austerity measures \u2013 plans that include changes to the province\u2019s paramedic services and drastic cuts to public health.<\/p>\n

Many at the rally also raised concern over the Ford government\u2019s drastic service cutbacks and elimination of other health services, including funding for mental health initiatives, overdose prevention sites, autism assistance programs, and more.<\/p>\n

\u201cGood, public health care is a cornerstone of Canadian society,\u201d says UFCW Canada Local 175 President Shawn Haggerty, who joined other labour leaders and activists at the rally. \u201cThe changes that the Ford government has revealed to our health care system will undermine that cornerstone. As a union that represents thousands of workers in the health care sector, including EMS workers and long-term and home care workers, among others, we are proud to make our collective voice heard and to support good, universal public health care in Ontario,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n

The event was organized by the Ontario Health Coalition, a network comprised of unions and local health coalitions from across Ontario aimed at protecting and improving the province\u2019s public health care system.
