The Grey Bruce Labour Council is planning an information picket in Kincardine on Monday.
The picket will be in front of Huron-Bruce MPP Lisa Thompson's office on Queen Street to show support for the huge Ontario Health Coalition rally at Queen's Park the next day.
Grey Bruce Labour Council delegates will lead the rally, which is expected to begin around 9:30 a.m. Monday morning. The guest of honour is Vicki McKenna, president of the Ontario Nurses Association.
Several thousand people are expected at the Health Coalition's rally Tuesday at Queen's Park.
In a news release, Natalie Mehra of the Ontario Health Coalition pointed to the recent election of Doug Ford.
"Premier Ford has surrounded himself with advisors who have a history of cutting services, closing and privatizing hospitals, cutting staff and bringing in privatized U.S.-style health care and user fees amounting to thousands of dollars for patients," said Mehra.
Anna Morrison, Grey Bruce Labour Council VP, said, "if this is the advisory group that Ford has called in then there is no reason to believe that the Ford agenda is about improving publicly funded healthcare and relieving the huge burdens on frontline healthcare workers."
