RTO/ERO is a non-partisan organization and does not support political parties nor endorse specific candidates. RTO/ERO believes the following are some of the most vital issues in Ontario: QUALITY HEALTHCARE/AGING WITH QUALITY PUBLICLYDIGNITY FUNDED EDUCATION RTO/ERO supports a public health care system that provides SYSTEM comprehensive services for seniors. Our members share the view of most Ontarians that the province's highest priority must continue to be the availability and delivery of quality health care. RTO/ERO recognizes that the future growth of the province depends on a quality, publiclyfunded education system. It is essential, therefore, that a provincial government acknowledges and supports such a system and treats all educators and educational support staff with respect. RTO/ERO supports the Ontario Teachers' Federation and its affiliates and their members in activities that will enhance the quality of teaching and learning for teachers and students. We remember and respect those still teaching and working in the schools, colleges and universities in Ontario. June is for Dads and Grads Canon Rebel T5i with 18-55mm IS STM Lens Here for you Now...

Faster shooting and a better video experience thanks to STM lenses, Digic 6 processor and great touch-screen interface We believe the provincial government must commit to providing adequately funded programs and services, as well as tax rebates that allow and encourage seniors to age with dignity. Issues that should be addressed include: protection and enhancement of pensions, incentives to encourage age-friendly communities, social housing/affordable housing, provision of and support for caregiving for seniors, independent living/ support to stay in own homes, funding/care levels/supervision in resident homes. QUALITY PROVINCIAL PROGRAMS AND SERVICES Though the newly-elected Provincial Government must manage fiscally and responsibly, reducing government debt over time, RTO/ERO urges the Provincial Government to maintain quality programs and services for all citizens in Ontario, especially our seniors. $ 699 99 webcode: 567CAN110 To find one of our 32 locations near you, visit www.henrys.com/stores Quantities limited.
