The Ontario Health Coalition is holding a community rally in Waterloo, Ontario, on March 16, 2026, to support public health care. The gathering will start at 1:00 PM outside the office of Member of Parliament Bardish Chagger, located at 100 Regina St S.
Participants plan to ask federal leaders to follow the Canada Health Act, which is the law that ensures health care is available to everyone without extra fees. The Waterloo Region Health Coalition is organizing the local event to stop the growth of for-profit health services.
Organizers say the protest is a response to recent trends where more surgeries and medical procedures are being moved to private clinics. They believe these changes could threaten the quality and availability of care in the public system for local families.
This event is part of a larger effort to get the attention of federal representatives regarding the future of medical services in Canada. Local residents are invited to attend the rally to voice their support for maintaining a public health system that serves everyone.
