GRAND BEND, ON –(COMMUNITYWIRE)– On Thursday a delegation of health care workers in Grand Bend will gather petition signatures as part of the CUPE Support Our Care days of action campaign while handing out frozen yogurt treats to their community.

Launched by the CUPE Ontario Health Care Workers Coordinating Committee (HCWCC), the Support Our Care campaign calls on the Ontario Conservative government to heavily invest in health care, raise the wages of health care workers, focus on the recruitment and retention of health care workers across sectors, and strengthen workers’ rights.
