Following the 2025 safe consumption site closures in Toronto, between April/25-Jan/26 there was an 82% increase in suspected overdose calls received by Toronto EMS. So Ontario - what do you want your ERs doing that could be done elsewhere? thestar.com/opinion/contribu…

In the @TorontoStar, RNAO President & #NP @LhamoDolkar2023 and CEO @DorisGrinspun sound the alarm. They say that Premier @fordnation and Health Minister @SylviaJonesMPP have been moving Ontario toward profitization. #Onpoli For nurses, health care is a universal right, not a business. There is a better path. Ontario can reduce wait times and strengthen equity by reinforcing — not abandoning — the public, not for profit system. Read the full op-ed: thestar.com/opinion/contribu…

It's a chance to learn, network, and see our great space, including a walk through RNAO's museum, a retrospective of 100 years of action and impact. CEO @DorisGrinspun and President-Elect @SueLeBeau1 are getting things started.
