JOIN THE ONTARIO-WIDE REFERENDUM

Vote Saturday May 28

To save our local hospital services & stop the cuts to our community hospitals

All across Ontario hospital beds, emergency departments, birthing and surgical units, palliative care and even entire hospitals are being closed down. Hundreds of nurses have been cut, along with the thousands of hours of hands-on care that they provide for patients. Public laboratories, diagnostics, outpatient clinics are being shuttered and privatized. Vital housekeeping and support services have been cut to the bone and privatized.

It is beyond time that the cuts to our community hospitals stop. We are calling for Ontarians to join a province-wide vote to make Ontario’s government listen to the concerns of our communities & restore our local hospital services.

What you can do:
Host a voting station in your community
Hold a workplace vote in your workplace
Drop leaflets off in your neighbourhood or help deliver them to other towns
