Despite having months to meet a deadline to install air conditioning in all long\u002Dterm care rooms, 90 Ontario residences have not complied.
The Canadian Union of Public Employees is slamming the Ontario government.
“We require immediate action to ensure the safety of all residents and staff. Seniors have already paid the price, and more will suffer without immediate access to air conditioning,” Debra Maxfield, a frontline personal support worker and chair of CUPE’s Health Care Workers Coordinating Committee, said in a statement.Minister of Long-Term Care Paul Calandra says the province is following up with homes that have failed to meet the deadline.
Environment Canada issued a heat alert for Friday and Saturday — with a possibility it could stretch into Sunday. “Hot and humid air can also bring deteriorating air quality and can result in the Air Quality Health Index approaching the high-risk category,” it forecast. “Watch for the effects of heat illness: swelling, rash, cramps, fainting, heat exhaustion, heat stroke and the worsening of some health conditions.”
