we continue to see a rise in protesters gathering outside of Ontario hospitals against vaccine mandates and other COVID-19-related public health measures; and Whereas the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario and Ontario Medical Association have issued joint statements "strongly condemning" the planned disruptions and calling for designated safe zones around health-care facilities to protect staff and patients; and Whereas health care workers have been caring for COVID-19 patients for 18 months despite risks to themselves and their families, these employees have been working around the clock on our front lines trying to keep our communities safe; and Whereas everyone has the right to protest, however this is targeted harassment and is undermining the vital work of our health care here in Ontario and should be condemned ; and Therefore be it resolved that the City of Cambridge Council send correspondence to the Ontario the legislature and Hon. Doug Ford, Premier requesting that measures be put in place to end the harassment and intimidation and establish safety zones around hospitals; And that this correspondence be forwarded to the Hon. Doug Ford, Premier, the Hon. Christine Elliot, Minister of Health, the Association of Ontario Municipalities and the municipalities of the Region of Waterloo.
