    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.
