Sep 16, 2020 - Make Revera Public Zoom Townhall

When: September 16th, 7pm

The pandemic has exposed grave problems with how we take care of our seniors, in particular, the dangers of private, for-profit owners operating long-term care homes.

The many tragedies resulting directly from private, for-profit homes have led to calls on the federal and provincial governments to make long-term care public.

The Town Hall will include a short panel of speakers who will share their expertise on the ownership structure of Revera Inc. and how it might be made public. This will be a key first step in bringing all of the privately-owned for-profit long-term care facilities into public ownership.

In response, we are convening an open virtual Town Hall on September 16th | zoom.us
