Today, Ontario’s community health sector spoke with one voice. Together, we submitted a shared budget recommendation focused on stabilizing the health system by investing in the community health workforce. When community care is strong, people receive care when and where they need it most. #FUFY

Today, November 20, is Transgender Day of Remembrance, a difficult but important day for anyone who has lost a loved one to anti-trans violence and hate, or who is a survivor of such violence. The Alliance and its members stand solemnly with trans and non-binary communities to fight back. #TDOR

New research shows 22% of workers are hoarding time off for emergencies. Over a third of Canadians don’t have paid sick leave. We need 10 paid sick days in Ontario so people can rest, not ration. #PaidSickDays
