Almost 400 health-care workers have signed an open letter taking Ottawa hospital CEOs to task for withdrawing from Capital Pride events.
“As health-care workers at CHEO, TOH, and in the Ottawa area, we recognize that advocacy is a core tenet and duty of our roles” said the open letter, which was posted online Monday, only days after CHEO and The Ottawa Hospital announced they were withdrawing citing safety and inclusivity and the Jewish Federation of Ottawa said it could not support an event that “marginalizes Jewish 2SLGBTQ+ individuals and the broader Jewish community.”
