November is Financial Literacy Month. The theme for 2025 is #TalkMoney.

It’s a chance to remove the stigma of talking about money and to get comfortable discussing financial situations without fear or judgement. #FLM2025

Ontario’s primary care crisis demands innovative solutions. Midwives are highly skilled primary care professionals, providing pregnancy, postpartum, infant & reproductive care. Yet there's been no new investment in midwifery education since 2010.

Over-medicalisation of birth has been rising for decades—often at the expense of women’s and newborns’ health.

ICM calls for health systems and midwives’ education to protect and promote normal, physiological birth as a safe & essential option for women.

Midwives provide primary care to more than 30,000 families a year, yet midwifery services remain out of reach for thousands who want them, especially in Indigenous, rural, northern and francophone communities. Tell your MPP: Ontario Needs #MidwivesEverywhere.

Midwives are part of the solution to Ontario's primary care crisis. Midwives improve outcomes, reduce costs and provide care where it’s needed most. Yet there’s been no new investment in midwifery education since 2010.

It’s time for change: www.ontariomidwives.ca/midwives-eve...
Graphic text: Midwives provide care to approximately 1 in 5 of all pregnant people in Ontario... AND YET there has been no new investment in midwifery education in 15 years.

Midwives are a critical part of Ontario’s health system, delivering safe, evidence-based, cost-effective care. Yet demand for midwifery care continues to outpace supply. Increasing investment in midwifery is key to addressing the gaps. Join the call: www.ontariomidwives.ca/midwives-eve...
