Care Grows Thin When Wages Don’t Win
Ontario’s frontline community health workers provide essential care in primary health, mental health and addictions, home care, and long-term care—keeping Ontarians healthy while reducing strain on hospitals and emergency departments.
Yet, despite their critical role, they face a $2 billion wage gap compared to their counterparts in other publicly funded sectors.
Staffing shortages are growing, wait times are increasing, and patient care is at risk.
We demand the Ontario government act now to:
✅ Close the wage gap and address the lingering impacts of Bill 124.
✅ Ensure fair wages to improve retention and recruitment of healthcare workers.
✅ Protect access to care for the most vulnerable Ontarians.
Ontario’s community health sector is at a breaking point—we cannot afford to wait.
