Town Hall Meeting on 2014 Health Accord


Kyle Buott
A town hall meeting will be held in Bridgewater Thursday night to talk about health care. The Nova Scotia Citizens' Health Network and CUPE 1933 are giving the public a chance to learn more about the 2014 Health Accord. The coordinator, Kyle Buott, says the meeting will allow residents to give feedback on what public health care should look like.
"We'll hear from some speakers about what's happening in health care, but we'll also want to hear other peoples opinions on how to build a peoples agenda for public health care and what citizens want their public health care system to look like in the future, so that's kind of the next step is to work on that vision."
Buott says the time is now for people to get engaged and spark change in the way health care is provided. The meeting will be held Thursday night at the Girl Guide Cabin at 93 Dominion Street, beginning at 6:30pm.
