Back to Pete's Kingston Labour Page!

At an 11:00 A.M. press conference on March 5, 2002 at Kingston City Hall
the Kingston Health Coalition with the Kingston & District Labour Council and
community members, kicked-off the campaign to save public health care.
May 15th was announced as the National Medicare Day

The campaign will take place as Roy Romanow, chair of the Commission on the
Future of Public Health Care in Canada is travelling across the country to conduct
public hearings.

Organizers hope to send a clear message to Mr. Romanow , provincial and federal
politicians that the principles of the Canada Health Act should guide and form a
revitalized public Medicare system in Canada.

Kingston & District Labour Council at the kick-off
