Floreat Grimsby In Medio Horti
We just picked up from The Standard some very good news. It appears the Province is giving $500,000 to kick-start the building of a new West Lincoln Memorial Hospital.
With so much happening with West Lincoln Memorial Hospital in recent weeks, we thought we would consolidate a few items that just came in into one post. Needless to say, the public is now clearly engaged and full of fire in order to protect our hospital.
While the fight to Save and rebuild WLMH is most definitely “on”, today’s Hamilton Spectator has an interesting editorial about HHS and WLMH saying that “Grimsby’s outrage is understandable”.
You can read the editorial below:
The “Save WLMH” Facebook page posted the above update to bring the community up to speed on what has occurred in regards to WLMH over the past week.
While the ghouls and goblins come haunting to your house on Halloween, you can use the opportunity of neighbours coming to your door to help save WLMH!
You can give the kids the treats and the adults can get a little information about what is happening with West Lincoln Memorial Hospital. You can print out the leaflets below and hand them out to the adults… and while they are on your doorstep, grab their signature on a printout of the petition.
Here are the leaflets you can hand out:
And the petition (please print original copies and only sign in the boxes provided):
No prizes for the person who gets the most signatures, but you can have the pride of knowing you helped saved WLMH.
Like a Tokyo subway at rush hour, Trinity United Church was packed to the brim with people who wanted to hear the latest happenings about WLMH and where we as a community need to move forward in regards to it.
We received word this morning of a last-minute, yet VERY IMPORTANT meeting regarding West Lincoln Memorial Hospital. With the Board of Hamilton Health Sciences (HHS) set to soon vote on what they wish to do with WLMH, residents need to be loud and clear we want to keep our hospital.
Niagara This Week just published an interesting article on West Lincoln Memorial Hospital, arising out of discussions that took place at the recent AMO (Association of Municipalities of Ontario) conference in Ottawa. The West Niagara delegation was quite strong in their demands for a WLMH re-built/new hospital.
As we previously posted, The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care held it’s public meeting on June 19th regarding the potential closure and move of 50 LTC spots to Hamilton. Residents turned up to voice protest and support for keeping the beds here in Grimsby.
You can read more about the meeting in Alexandra Heck’s Niagara This Week article here: https://www.niagarathisweek.com/news-story/7383855-keep-the-beds-in-grimsby/
The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care is proposing to close Kilean Lodge and move our 50 long-term care beds to a new development in Hamilton. Do you want to see these beds stay in Grimsby?
