Fellow Members,

Next month’s election in Ontario is vital. As public service professionals, it’s important that we think about which parties are going to increase public services and which ones are going to decrease them. When it comes to making the lives of Ontario children, seniors, families, and our members better, that matters. Because more and better public health care, child care, education and jobs make the difference between communities that are strong, healthy, and vibrant ... and those that aren’t.

Your vote matters. You already know how important your work can be to the lives of others. That’s why I want to urge you to be sure to vote on June 7 – and to vote for public services.

You can make a pledge to vote for public services by visiting: https://action.pipsc.ca/vote_for_public_services. We’ll be sure to remind you to vote closer to election day.

To learn more and ensure you are registered to vote, please visit Elections Ontario.

Better Together!
Debi Daviau
President
