Major Health Care Cutbacks Are Coming:

As you know, Toronto banker Don Drummond's report on restructuring (and cutting) public services, including health care, was released yesterday. The report contains 362 recommendations, 105 of them focused on health care. The Ontario Health Coalition is holding a Webinar (briefing by internet) to share a full briefing, provide analysis and answer questions about the proposed cuts and Drummond's recommendations this upcoming Saturday, February 18th. We are also calling an Emergency Assembly to pull together all the local coalitions, key member groups and activists to share a briefing and plan the fight-back campaign to save health care services across Ontario the following Saturday, February 25th. Please spread the word and join in. These are urgent meetings.

EMERGENCY ASSEMBLY Saturday February 25th at 11 am at The Church of the Holy Trinity, 10 Trinity Square (Behind the Eaton Centre, by Indigo Books) FREE

All local health coalitions are asked to please send at least one or two reps. All OHC members and supporters are welcome.
