The Ontario Federation of Labour calls for workers to show support for a Private Member’s Bill, the Gender Affirming Health Care Advisory Committee Act. The action involves reception and sitting in the Gallery to hear the second reading of the bill.

The CUPE 4207 Pink Triangle Committee encourages our members to attend. Our local will cover the mileage cost of travel for up to three cars, including parking expenses, and up to five bus tickets for our members attending the rally. Please, email the union in advance of your attendance of this event at info@cupe4207.org .
