Parkdale Queen West Community Health Centre Nurses Demand Fair Wages to Protect Primary Care
TORONTO, ON, May 25, 2026 – More than 30 registered nurses (RNs) and nurse practitioners (NPs), members of the Ontario Nurses’ Association (ONA), at Parkdale Queen West Community Health Centre (PQWCHC) are calling on their employer to close the wage gap and offer fair wages as they head to conciliation seeking a new collective agreement. After years of wage freezes or minimal wage increases, the group of highly-skilled nurses are struggling to make ends meet, forcing them to look for jobs in other health-care sectors.
