Health protest planned

The constituency office of Sudbury Liberal MPP Glenn Thibeault  could be noisy this Friday.  Health coalitions from across the northeast will converge on his office to protest hospital cuts.  Demonstrators include residents of Espanola and the North Shore.  Other coalitions taking part are from Sault Ste. Marie, Temiskaming, North Bay and Sudbury.  The Day of Action is to tell the Wynne Liberals to stop cutting hospital funding.  The health coalitions are worried that ongoing healthcare cuts are putting patients at risk.  The Day of Action begins at noon this Friday.
