Today, we gathered in solemn remembrance to honour the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty while working in Ontario’s correctional services.
They devoted themselves to an often unseen profession, and carried their duties to protect Ontario with honour and integrity. Under the leadership of Premier @fordnation, our government sees you, hears you and above all, we thank you.

This week we recognize Correctional Services Officer Recognition Week! We salute all the staff working in our Correctional system for their outstanding service and unshakeable commitment day after day!
On March 18th, the strike turned violent when Ontario Provincial Police officers in riot gear plowed paths through striking provincial public service workers, making way for politicians to enter Queen’s Park. #canlab#cdnpoli#onpoli
On this day in 1996, Ontario's civil servants went on strike for the first time. The strike centred on the government's plan to cut 13000 civil-service jobs. The strike reduced many services including highway snow plowing, meat inspection, and ferries. #canlab#cdnpoli#onpoli
On this day in 1966, the Canada Pension Plan came into force for the first time as a response to growing poverty among retired Canadians. The CPP was originally financed entirely by payroll contributions levied on employers, employees and the self-employed. #canlab#cdnpoli
