COVID-19 Policy Series
Each session of our COVID-19 Policy Series will be dedicated to a specific topic in health and care that’s being affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The goal of these sessions? To highlight topics that deserve urgent and immediate attention by policymakers in Ontario or Canada.
These sessions are open to all, but will be most impactful for policy makers and advocates.
