(October 15, 2024)
Please find below links to various materials the Ontario Health Coalition has produced when it comes to the proposed new 30-year license and bed expansion for the Orchard Villa Long-Term Care for-profit home, based in Oshawa. We are currently raising funds for the legal action on the Ford government’s decision to grant the new 30-year license and massive expansion to this for-profit Long-Term Care home with one of the worst pandemic death records in Ontario. If you or someone you know can help, please donate to our legal fund.
