The Capers for Healthcare & NSEF would like everyone to attend the Health Care rally, march and closing of the Causeway on November 16th. The information is below and buses are provided for transportation but some might choose to bring their own vehicle and people with them. This rally is to voice concern over the closing of our hospitals and having no plan in place to replace them. The Equalization and Health Care funding situations are closely connected so the NSEF has been asked to attend this rally and support Cape Bretoners in general. The rally focus is on Health Care and it is a great chance to have a show of force as Cape Breton continues to fight the Nova Scotia Provincial Government for the neglect we face on this island. We hope that you will come with us on Friday and show the Nova Scotia Provincial Government and Randy Delorey that we have had enough. Please call 902 304 4626 (Lisa) to arrange a spot on the bus and leave a message if there is no answer and she will get back to you. Below is the information that you need for November 16th protest to Randy Delorey’s office in Antigonish and the Canso Causeway march. Hope to see you there.
