A citizens’ rally will be held in front of the Greater Niagara General Hospital in Niagara Falls this coming Wednesday, July 6 to protest the way the Niagara Health System has been handling a deadly outbreak of C. difficile at its hospital sites across the region.
The rally is being organized by Wayne Gates, a Niagara Falls city councillor and president of Local 199 of the Canadian Auto Workers, and is expected to include Niagara Falls Mayor Jim Diodati, Niagara Falls Liberal MPP Kim Craitor, Ontario NDP leader Andrea Horwath and Yellow Shirts Brigade leader Sue Salzer are among the speakers.
Everyone concerned about this and other matters around the way the Niagara Health System is managing hospital services in the region is invited to attend. The rally will take place at 3 p.m. at the hospital site located on 5546 Portage Road.
Will there be one in St. Catharines, especially at the doorstep of the administration for the NHS?

No not now. The one in Niagara Falls is for the entire region as all the hospitals are inundated with an outbreak of C.difficile. The protest is for a safe hospital system in Niagara, which we don’t have now.
