Engaging your MPP has never been easier thanks to RNAO’s signature event Queen’s Park on the Road (QPOR).
As of Oct. 22, QPOR 2019 has officially begun. QPOR is an exciting annual event that encourages RNAO members to meet their MPPs (list included below) within their local constituency office to discuss key nursing, health, and health-care delivery issues. The event is a fantastic opportunity to engage your elected representatives where you live on the matters that are important to you as an RNAO member. As a health professional, this is a chance to bring your experiences and expertise to life for those we elect to deliver the best health care possible to Ontarians.
This year, we will be pushing hard for change on two current issues – the opioid crisis and staffing and funding in long-term care homes. Fact sheets and political action bulletins have been developed to support a focused and informed discussion on these issues. Visit QPOR.RNAO.ca to review these resources and other tools to prepare, plan and lead meetings with your MPP.
If you are interested in participating, please contact Laura Crich, policy and political action network (PPAN) officer for Region 10 - Ottawa Chapter at:
