Lucky to work with this team every day as we work to build a stronger and more equitable health system.

It was a special morning! We’re proud to be a part of such a progressive OHT. Looking forward to continued collaboration with our healthcare Partners to build a stronger health system that works for all.

There was no mention in the federal budget, of accessibility targets for the $8.8B for new housing. Yet housing inaccessibility in Canada is in crisis and disabled folks must not be denied their #Right2Housing in this major initiative 2/ https://t.co/vq0gC5hovR via @torontostar

@mlanelson @perrin_meghan @marchofdimescda Would love that!

[Zinnia Batliwalla @zbatliwalla]

Learned so much from you through it all, @perrin_meghan! Couldn’t have asked for a better group to learn and grow with!!

[Zinnia Batliwalla @zbatliwalla]

@v1ctoriapearson @perrin_meghan Thank you! Wouldn't have been possible without the support from everyone at @marchofdimescda right at the beginning!

[Zinnia Batliwalla @zbatliwalla]

@mlanelson @perrin_meghan Thank you, @mlanelson! Wouldn’t have been possible without people like you who supported me as I attempted to balance work and school! I still remember telling you I had applied the first time we met at @marchofdimescda!

@ihpmeuoft @bornk @JillTinmouth @christineeshea1 @kkeshavjee Congrats @bornk! Such great news for the MHSc program, excited for alumni and future students!

I am still looking for older adults who are 55+ to speak to us about the home-care, long-term care, or retirement home systems in ON, specifically people's preferences for them and their current context. To participate or for further info, email me: [email protected] #LTC

Are you a #disabled adult in Toronto hoping to get a #Covid19 vaccine? The city is running two clinics solely for you! Get details/make bookings here: https://t.co/5YEdQ9IzBA

[Ritika Goel @RitikaGoelTO]

So we got a temporary program for only 3 days, which is not part of labour laws ie likely very hard for workers to actually make employers enact if they need it.

This is not permanent, universal, accessible, adequate paid sick days legislation.

#onpoli #covid19

[Gaibrie Stephen @SGaibrie]

#BREAKING: Ontario government to announce a #PaidSickDays plan at 3:15pm today.

Remember the list of what’s effective:

✅ Universal (employer delivered)
✅ Fully paid without interruption
✅ Permanent
✅ Adequate in number
✅ Free of barriers

This is the gold standard.

[Ahmed Ali @DrAhmednurAli]

Ontario desperately needs #PaidSickDays.

If you agree RT.

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

#BREAKING: The Ontario government has once again voted against #PaidSickDays.

In total, our government has now voted against paid sick days 21 times since the start of the #COVID19 pandemic.

If you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention.

[Irfan Dhalla @IrfanDhalla]

Testing volume is very low. Test positivity is very high.

Therefore, case counts are virtually impossible to interpret.

ICU admissions are still increasing.

Overall this is still a very worrisome picture.

[Fatima Syed / @fatimabsyed.bsky.social @fatimabsyed]

A 13-year old girl died in a 2-bedroom apartment of essential workers who feared she'd be sent to a hospital far from them because the city's ONLY hospital was full.

I don't know whether I'm more angry or sad. We shouldn't have lost Emily Victoria Vegas
