Dear Actionmarguerite Residents and Families,
As you are likely aware, the Manitoba Association of Health Care Professionals (MAHCP) representing allied health professionals (including social work, occupational and physical therapy, dietitians, and infection control support associates) have issued strike notice with an effective date of March 7, 2025 at 12:01 a.m.
Health system management is working with the Union to resolve this impasse as quickly as possible. It is also important for you to know that we have an Essential Service Agreement in place, meaning that we would continue to have staff who are members of MAHCP working but in a reduced capacity should a strike begin on March 7th.
It is hoped that a resolution can be arrived at before strike action is required. As the efforts continue towards a resolution, we want to assure you that we are doing everything we can to prepare to support you/your family members. We will ask that families look at their schedules to see if visits and support can be increased in the event of a strike as our efforts will be focused on ensuring everyone’s safety and wellbeing.
We will keep you informed as the situation unfolds. As always, should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to write to info@actionmarguerite.ca.
We thank you for your continued support as we navigate these times.
With regards,
Carol Styles
Chief Nursing Officer
