BREAKING NEWS: SHJN has released a full winter plan to counter the horribly inadequate one released by the city.
This plan includes data, graphs, and is divided into five sections based on what a fulsome winter plan SHOULD address:

Please consider donating! It is unconscionable that refugee claimants and asylum seekers are without food and water, let alone shelter. Myself and @lorrainelamchop are asking for your help to purchase these items to help keep people hydrated and well. gofundme.com/f/water-and-foo…

Since 2014, our PEACH (Palliative Education And Care for the Homeless) Program has compassionately cared for 1000 unhoused people across the City of Toronto.
What makes PEACH so impactful?
Check out our new article in @LongwoodsNotes to learn more. 🙏🏽

The existence of PEACH is demonstrative of the problem it seeks to solve – that mainstream #palliativecare services do not meet the needs of people experiencing #homelessness. @NaheedD @DonnaSpaner @AlissaTedesco @NPersaud5 @MDTrev @ICHA_Toronto

Dear Danielle Smith:
I’m a Calgary OBGYN covering labour and delivery in Lethbridge today. This is a full-blown women’s health crisis and it’s about time you treat it as such.
Feel free to call our unit. I’m working for 48hrs. Happy to discuss strategies #ableg

So in Lethbridge, Danielle Smith was asked how the local hospital can possibly deal with 2200 births/year with only one obstetrician. DS replied: "....(something) (something) home births."

Ontarians deserve BETTER! We need to ensure access to health care when people need it with their OHIP card, not their credit card. Our co-chairs @MaggieHulbert and @mtalveer out here supporting more investment in public health care, not privatization and cuts. 💥

Heathcare workers and advocates call on Toronto’s City Council to have warming centres to open at zero degrees, to be open longer with way more spaces that are easily accessible, and clear communication about what is available. Right now they open at -15.

A freezing cold and sunny morning in Toronto! 🌞
@mtalveer, @SamanthaGreenTO, @c_shadowspaces and Rev. Angie Hocking spoke outside of City Hall to send a strong message to the Board of Health that people are sustaining injuries and dying needlessly. #OpenWarmingCentres
