This is a milestone moment in the TinyEARS campaign, 10,000 signatures! In just two weeks. In June of 2017 and on your behalf, Member of Parliament Peter Julian will be presenting this petition to parliament in the House of Commons. Ten thousand signatures is a clear signal to the Minister that Canadians expect better for our babies. Your names, signatures and stories are a key part of making this change in Canada. The comments on the petition are amazing and we are reading every one of them. Thank you! If the United States can have a national mandate for infant hearing surely Canada can. This important issue is easily addressed and we would like to work with the federal government to do just that. As Heather Miller in Markham, Ontario said: “This is a relatively small request with a big impact.” Let’s keep working together to strengthen this petition. You can help keep this incredible momentum going. 1 - Share the petition with your family and friends. So many people are shocked to learn of the inequality across Canada! 2 - Contact the Minister for Health directly. Here is a template you can use: http://tinyears.ca/about/take-action/ 3 - Support sharing the petition even more widely on Change.org by making a contribution to promote the petition 4 - Join the conversation on Facebook and Twitter using #TinyEARS Your support is working. Your signatures are making a difference. Together we can speak up for babies who can’t. It is time for leadership. It is time for results. You are helping to do just that. On behalf of the entire tinyEARS.ca team and babies across Canada, THANK YOU! Yours for better hearing health, John Pepperell Chair The Hearing Foundation of Canada Board of Directors P.s.
