Today, we’ll be watching @Fordnation challenge the rights of @OntarioMidwives to equal pay for our work. The courts have already ruled (twice!) #midwives shouldn't be underpaid & undervalued because our work is associated with women. #StopFightingMidwivesInCourt! #payequity

In this year that has been so challenging for so many people, we felt it was important to give back to some community partners whose work and programming we value! 1/3

[Ottawa South Midwives @OSMidwives]

Ottawa's Indigenous and teen populations are so well supported by @WabanoHealth and Ottawa's @YouvilleCentre and we are beyond happy to have been in a position to make a cash donation to both organizations this year. 2/3

Today's news is disappointing & we have asked the Province to consider a shorter shutdown for Ottawa. For now, we'll keep working as hard as we can to get our community through this. We are currently updating our communications & we'll provide updates soon. #SteadyAsSheGoes

We understand that this change will be difficult for our clients and their families and thank you for your understanding. We know that it is hard to be pregnant and newly postpartum during a global pandemic. 💚💚💚 #onhealth #COVID19Ontario (2/2)

[Ottawa South Midwives @OSMidwives]

In light of worsening COVID-19 numbers, and following several exposures of our midwives and administrative staff in the past few weeks, we have made the difficult decision that as of immediately, partners or other support people are no longer permitted in the clinic. (1/2)
