Commission for Quality Public Services and Tax Fairness
February 07, 2012
The McGuinty government is planning painful cuts to health care, education, and social services (as high as 33 percent in some Ministries ). From the smallest women's shelter to the largest hospital, no public service is safe.
Under these mounting attacks, the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) approached a national advocacy group called the Public Services Foundation of Canada (PSFC) to hold a Commission on Quality Public Services and Tax Fairness.
Last September, the PSFC agreed to work with OPSEU to hold province-wide hearings to hear from people who value public services and tax fairness as a way to pay for preserving those services our communities rely on.
We will hold public hearings and town hall forums across the province where citizens of Ontario, from every walk of life, are encouraged to make submissions.
Time: Hearings: 1:00 pm - 3:30 pm, Town Hall: 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Venue: Bay Room, Harry Lumley Bayshore Community Centre
Location: 808 2nd Avenue E Owen Sound, ON
For information contact: Kiera Chion, kchion@opseu.org
Phone: 416-526-0330
Categories: Social Services
