Election day is three days away. Make your voice count.

The general election in Ontario is scheduled for June 7, 2018. What have party leaders and candidates said about arthritis care in Ontario?



Arthritis is a chronic disease that has a devastating and debilitating effect on the lives of more than 6 million Canadians and more than two million Ontario residents. Provincial policy directly impacts the lives of those living with arthritis and their families. The next Ontario provincial government must acknowledge the gaps in arthritis care and offer some solutions to the pressing issues facing people living with arthritis. To learn more about arthritis in Ontario visit our ON Election 2018 page.

On June 7th make your voice count. Arthritis needs to be heard and this can only be achieved through individuals exercising their right to vote to make positive changes in provincial arthritis care.

Arthritis Consumer Experts (ACE) sent a questionnaire to the party leaders and candidates of the 2018 Ontario Provincial Election, asking for their comments and promises on the following subjects:
  • models of care
  • arthritis education
  • Aboriginal arthritis care
  • reimbursement for inflammatory arthritis medications
  • flexible work arrangements
Over the past month, ACE collected Party and individual candidate’s responses. Responses have been posted on the ON Election 2018 section of ACE’s website, and we will continue to post responses as we receive them, up until the day of the election.
