🚨 Take Action: End the Age 65 Cut-Off
Injured workers in Ontario are being cut off benefits at 65—or sooner. It’s outdated and unfair.
We’ve created a letter you can copy, sign, and send to your MPP (any party, anywhere in Ontario).

Petition to end the discrimination against older workers that we have been working on. You can use it as an outreach tool to talk to folks! Just a note, however, is that the purpose of the petition is to present them to MPPs so they have to be signed by hand. Let me know if you have any questions!
For further information about the campaign feel free to check out the web page: https://injuredworkersonline.org/endtheagecutoff/

Press Outreach
Greetings,The Thunder Bay and District Injured workers Support Group is pleased to announce it’s partnership with the Environmental Health Association of Quebec.
We share a common understanding that many of the chemicals that we are exposed to both at work and at home are toxic. We want to shine a light on this issue to find ways that that promote the health and safety of all workers, our families and our communities
We are writing to promote their event, “Resilience: An International Conference on Multiple Chemical Sensitivity”.
The main takeaway from the conference will be the promotion of fragrance-free policies across Canada to ensure accessible healthcare for all.
As we approach Earth Day on April 22, we encourage everyone to reflect on this issue enjoy this free conference May 1 and 2nd
Local injured workers are outraged that election day falls on April 28, which is also the National Day of Mourning
