Dear Premier Ford,
Nurses are gravely concerned about the lack of information on Ontario s plan to reopen schools. The beginning of a new school year is six weeks away and parents and children are anxious to hear details about a safe and timely reopening.
RNAO shares those concerns. The government is not forthcoming about details. This too little, too late approach, which was the hallmark of stages one and two of the pandemic, cannot extend to the reopening of schools this fall. Students in Ontario have been out of the classroom longer than students in any other province. We agree that they must return to class for the obvious educational benefits, as well as for their physical health and social interactions that affect their emotional wellbeing.
/CNW/ - As G20 leaders meet for a Global Health Summit, the global charity World Animal Protection is urging them to prioritize pandemic prevention and to curb.

TORONTO, May 6, 2021 /CNW/ - Canadians are calling on their government to help stop the global commercial wildlife trade through a House of Commons e-petition started by the global charity World Animal Protection. With over 13,000 signatures the petition was presented in the House of Commons on May 5
th by Conservative Health Critic and Member of Parliament for Calgary Nose Hill, Michelle Rempel Garner.
It urges the government to support the closure of wildlife markets and commit to end the international and domestic trade in wild animals and wild animal parts to prevent the spread of zoonotic diseases. This includes where animals are used for luxury fashion and as exotic pets.

COVID-19 constraints are challenging. Yet they are no match for the patriotic spirit of Sierra Leoneans who now live in Edmonton and nearby communities in Alberta, Canada. On Saturday, May 1 2021, compatriots circumvented the restrictions on social interaction brought on by the viral pandemic as they collectively marked the 60th anniversary of Sierra Leone as a sovereign nation.
They did so by video conference, under the auspices of the Sierra Leone Association of Alberta (SLAA). The theme of the occasion was âTogether as a Community, we can Heal.â The guest speaker was Wendy Fehr, executive director of CAUSE CANADA. Her community organization has been engaged in humanitarian work in Sierra Leone for many years now.

According to CUPE Local 5430, the Saskatchewan Health Authority is cutting microbiology testing at the Yorkton lab and starting this Sunday, samples from Yorkton and area will be sent to Regina for processing.
“Our Microbiology lab diagnoses critical illnesses such as staph infections, sepsis, meningitis, and post-op infections. The range of tests the government is cutting include microbial organism identification and sensitivity reporting, which is used to identify which treatment options should be given to patients to effectively counter infections,” said Linda Renkas, Regional Vice-President, CUPE 5430 in a news release.
“If treatment or diagnosis is delayed, the consequences can be life threatening.”
