The Ontario Health Coalition continues its self-appointed mission to be the public conscience of the Province’s long-term care crisis.
Noting that over 1,900 Ontario residents and staff have died of COVID-19 in long-term care homes, the OHC has designated Thursday as a Day of action.
A series of events is planned across Ontario, including a motorcade rally at Queen’s Park Circle in Toronto from 930 to 11AM.
Among the OHC’s goals are an end to for-profit long-term care and a minimum of four hours of hands-on care per patient daily.
The rally will be followed by a press conference wherein the Coalition will restate its goals and press the Province not to fall further behind other Canadian jurisdictions in striving to improve working conditions in Ontario’s LTCs.
The only action planned in the Valley is in Almonte, where the death toll at the Country Haven Home reached double digits during the first wave of the virus.
