Retweeted by ONTSpecialNeeds I’ve been sitting in my doctors office for 10 mins and two people have already come in asking if any doctors are accepting patients or if there is a wait list. There was so much desperation in both their voices. Our health care system is broke. @SylviaJonesMPP

My father loves to send me random texts with random information he thinks I need to know. Here’s his latest:
FRENCH IMMERSION PARENTS: Did your child’s 1st report card indicate that they’re having some difficulty? Are you trying to decide whether you should keep your child in the program or pull them out? If so, this may be a good time to meet with the School Team & explore the options.

Best ➡️ RSV plateaus and declines.
Worst ➡️ Record numbers of kiddos sent to hospital by flu.

This time of year can be especially difficult for many people, even more so with how tough these past few years have been.
You never know how much a call/text might mean to them.
Remember, you matter.
