Stratford and area residents overwhelmingly against privatization of local hospitals

Residents in our region strongly oppose the privatization of local hospitals.

The Ontario Health Coalition held a referendum across the province last Friday and Saturday asking whether or not Ontarians want local public hospital services to be privatized to for-profit hospitals and clinics.

Province-wide results will be announced outside Queen’s Park on Wednesday.
