Join Us at the Privatization is a Poison Pill Rally, July 16, 2024
Frontline health care workers and patient advocates will rally outside the Council of the Federation meeting in Halifax to send a strong message to Canada’s premiers that our health care is not for sale, and we want universal pharmacare now.
Date: Tuesday, July 16, 2024
Time: 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Speeches start at 12:00 p.m.
Place: Peace & Friendship Park on Hollis Street across from the Westin Nova Scotian.
Speakers include leaders from the Nova Scotia Health Coalition, the Council of Canadians, Wellness Within, and national leaders from the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC), the Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions (CFNU), CUPE, NUPGE, PSAC, and Unifor.
The rally is organized by the Nova Scotia Health Coalition and the Canadian Health Coalition. Both coalitions are made up of labour unions representing health care workers, community organizations, and experts, including people with lived experience of not being able to access health care and medicine.
