Ontario hospitals say they have $1 billion in funding needs

We know you need to get around seven days a week, not just Monday to Friday. If you're tired of the weekend waits, join the call for weekend GO train service. Let's get to 5,000 signatures before October 20! Add your voice: https://t.co/075CLpThIY

Wishing the Jewish community in Kitchener a blessed Yom Kippur. G’mar Chatimah Tovah.

The Ford government is leaving our foodbanks out to dry at a time when people need them most. Our foodbanks are a lifeline for thousands of Ontarians. They need our support, not more costs being piled at their feet. Ford is failing on recycling. https://t.co/7MWwmgWP8r

I want to thank @healing_seven for organizing today's walk, Crow Shield Lodge for the sacred fire, Elder Myeengun Henry for the sunrise ceremony and @Anishnabeg_O for today's farm gathering. 5/5

Ontario Greens are committed to acting on the recommendations of the Final Report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada and will continue to oppose legislation like Bill 5 that undermines Indigenous freedom and attacks Indigenous lands and sovereignty. 4/5

Reckoning with these truths is an important step to repairing their lasting damage. But our work does not stop there. 3/5

The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is a time to remember the parents, children, siblings and elders tragically lost to the horrendous acts of cultural genocide committed in government-sanctioned residential schools. 2/5

This morning I took part in the annual Truth and Reconciliation walk hosted by The Healing of the Seven Generations. It was great to see so many people from the KW community come together for this powerful reflection on the lasting impacts of residential schools. 1/5

I stand with Indigenous leaders urging the Ford government to recognize the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation as a provincial statutory holiday in Ontario. 3/3

It's important to take time to reflect on and celebrate the strength, courage and resiliency of Indigenous Peoples and Nations who have worked so hard to defend their people, land, language, culture and communities. 2/3

Today, I joined MPPs from all parties to raise the Survivors' Flag at Queen's Park ahead of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. 1/3

Happy Rosh Hashanah to everyone celebrating in Kitchener and around the world. May your year be filled with peace, prosperity and good health. Shana Tova!

I had a great day yesterday in Grassie for the 106th International Plowing Match. It's such a treat to be able to speak with our farmers and learn about their stewardship of Ontario's farmland. If you're in the area this week make some time to attend the IPM!

Honoured to stand by @etfowaterloo to call for investments in school infrastructure to address the repair backlog and provide local trades jobs. This is an opportunity to transform education and our economy at the same time. https://t.co/qRIGfZb434

The Ford government has given up trying to solve the homelessness crisis – we're not going to. Thanks to @Bill_Doucet for highlighting the work we're doing. https://t.co/jL6LefKZPG

Commuters in the fourth largest population centre in Ontario don't have weekend GO train service. It's time to change that. It's time for the Ford government to step up and bring weekend GO trains to Kitchener. Let's make it happen. Add your voice: https://t.co/0DwZEKNLKG

We can’t just stand idly by and watch while our friends and neighbours die. Thank you to Overdose Education Work Group for organizing this event. 2/2

Yesterday, I joined folks from across KW to mark Drug Poisoning Awareness Day. It's clear to everyone that something needs to change. Ontario needs a more ambitious strategy to address the tragic toll of drug poisonings. 1/2

Ford won't listen to cycling advocates, traffic experts and now he's challenging the decisions of the courts. We need a government that makes decisions based on evidence, not their own biases.
