Ottawa, ON – On Thursday morning, a 15-foot wooden Trojan Horse will visit The Ottawa Hospital Riverside Campus, symbolizing the “duplicity of the Ontario PCs hospital services’ privatization plan.”
Founded in 1982, the 40,000 member Ontario Council of Hospital Unions/CUPE is the hospital division of the Canadian Union of Public Employees in Ontario.
