Care Can’t Wait.

It’s Time for Action on Seniors Care in Budget 2025

Last fall, thousands of HEU members helped re-elect a worker-friendly government. The election created an important opportunity to stand up for our seniors.

The next provincial Budget will be released March 4. With your help, we can ensure Finance Minister Brenda Bailey includes strong and necessary action for our seniors.

Sign the letter below, and urge government to tackle these priorities in the next Budget:

  • Restore common standards for wages, benefits and working conditions, so seniors will receive the same quality of care if they are in a public care home or a private one;
  • Build more public and non-profit care homes; and
  • Improve accountability for private, for-profit care homes to ensure they are helping seniors

We have drafted a letter, below. If you have time, adding a few words of your own will make your message even more powerful. Don’t wait – send yours now!
