Matthew House Toronto

NO CUTS TO CARE!
From Vancouver to St. John's, healthcare workers, refugee advocates, and community members took part in a public action in 11 Canadian cities, coast to coast yesterday demanding the federal government reverse its cuts to the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP) before they take effect on May 1st. Matthew House Toronto members joined the event in Toronto.
This is a huge step backward in our history. "In a time when global displacement is at an unprecedented level, Canada must show leadership and protect those who need it the most. Increasing the barriers for refugees to access healthcare takes Canada in the wrong direction."

See message below from Canadian Council for Refugees and call upon the government to reverse this decision.

Wishing you peace, renewal, and joy this Easter.
