Petition updateEnact Finlay’s Law to Protect Ontario’s Children in Emergency Rooms

Finlay’s Law: This Thursday, We Bring Your Voice to the Minister of Health

Hazel Van der WerkenBurlington, Canada
Oct 20, 2025

This Thursday, we meet with Ontario’s Minister of Health. And we’re bringing your voices with us.

To everyone who’s signed our petition—thank you. Your support means the world. You’ve helped carry Finlay’s story into the halls of power.

Now, we ask for one more push.

We’re urging Minister Sylvia Jones to say yes to Finlay’s Law: a bold step toward protecting children in Canada’s ERs. But to show her—and every elected official—that this isn’t just one family’s fight, we need thousands more signatures.

Please share the petition. Share our story. From coast to coast, let Canada hear us.

We may be starting in Ontario, but this is only the beginning. Every child deserves timely emergency care. Every parent deserves to know their child won’t be left waiting.

Stand with Finlay. Be the voice he no longer has.
