Sharing resources to support social inclusion + equity across North Scarborough.

@birgitomo @HamHealthSci @collegeofnurses Completely agree. What a terrifying and degrading experience it must have been esp w/ a heart problem. Accountability & apology needed.

Note this happens to all people of colour at many public institutions. Change is long overdue.

Is your child up-to-date with their vaccines? Catch up on any missing vaccines for school by booking an appointment at a City-run clinic: https://t.co/gILo8hkud0.

These vaccines provide important protection against many vaccine-preventable diseases.

If you already had #COVID19, it's recommended to get your #BivalentBooster to help increase protection that may have decreased since your last #COVID19 infection or dose.
