Re:    Petition to Legislative Assembly of Ontario

We are once again asking you to support a bill currently before the Ontario Legislature (Bill 33: Time to Care) calling for a minimum of four hours per day of direct nursing care and personal support for each resident of an Ontario long term care home.

Background

You may have received a letter from us earlier asking you to support Private Member's Bill 188, tabled by France Gelinas, MPP (Nickel Belt). Bill 188: Time to Care Act called for a change in the law such that residents of long term care homes must receive a minimum of four hours per day of direct nursing care and personal support services. Existing care levels are well below this recommended 4 hours a day.

In support of the bill, the Champlain Region Family Council Network (CRFCN) and the Family Council Network of Region 4 reached out to Family Councils and Family Council Networks across the Province in the hopes of gathering signatures on a petition in support of Bill 188. Although Bill 188 died when the Ontario Legislature was prorogued on September 8^th, 2016, Ms. Gelinas has re-introduced her bill in the legislature and it now is known as Bill 33: Time to Care Act.

We would like to thank the many homes that collected signatures in support of Bill 188. We received nearly 6000 signatures in a very short period; we have been assured by the office of Ms. Gelinas that, even though Bill 188 has been replaced by Bill 33, our signed petitions referencing Bill 188 can be read in the Legislature.

Our petition created a lot of interest and questions about a minimum care standard. We want to build on that momentum by continuing to collect signatures from anyone in Ontario who is interested in ensuring that our frail elderly in long term care can live in dignity receiving quality care. We need to send a clear message to the Ontario Government that chronic understaffing in long term care is a major concern not only to families and friends of LTC residents but an issue for all Ontarians.

If your home has not already collected signatures in support of the Time to Care Act, or if you feel you can collect more signatures, could you please distribute and display the attached petition prominently in your home and at any upcoming function, activity, meeting or celebration where family and friends of

residents gather. While we are no longer working against a deadline, and will continue to work on this critical issue for as long as it takes to make a minimum care standard part of the Ontario Long Term Care Act, we encourage you to submit your petitions not later than January 15, 2017.

Process

•         All signatures on the petition must be original to be accepted. You may make as many copies of the blank petition as you wish.

•         It is not necessary to complete one petition before starting another.

•         Please note that signatures on the back of the petition cannot be accepted.

•         LTC staff and residents are eligible to sign the petition.

•         Once completed, the signed petitions must be mailed to either the Chair of the CRFCN Advocacy Committee or to Region 4's Advocacy Committee at the addresses displayed at the bottom of the petition.

If you have any questions, please contact Grace Welch, Chair of the CRFCN Advocacy Committee at 613-722-4429 / e-mail: gwelch@.uottawa.ca. or Tom Carrothers, Chair of the Region 4 Advocacy Committee at 416-992- 3411 / email: tom@tjc-chem.ca

We look forward to working with you on the very important issue of hours of care.

Sincerely,

Doreen Rocque                                                      Bob Gadsby
