A story posted this Wednesday, March 13 wrongly stated in the headline that a bus trip of citizens to Queen’s Park to call for the saving of hospital services at the Welland, Ontario hospital is scheduled for March 24.
Actually, this bus trip, which all concerned citizens are invited to take, is scheduled for March 21st. The new hospital in St. Catharines, Ontario is opening March 24.
Sorry for the error which has been corrected in the post, which NAL urges you to visit by clicking on www.niagaraatlarge.com and reading the information in the piece submitted by Pat Scholfield for further details.

Interesting how earnest Wellanders are to get support for keeping the hospital there along with all its services. At best the hospital has been a disappointment to many in town, especially the emergency department. But where were Wellanders when those in Fort Erie warned of what was to come and were seeking their help in saving the Fort Erie hosptial?
My family’s experience with the Welland Hospital, where I was kept in the waiting room of the emerg for several hours while having a heart attack, has been less than gratifying.
Now the shoe seems to be on the other foot and perhaps there are few, from other communities like Fort Erie and Port Colborne, who care as they are still fighting to get their services back.
Just a thought!
