Nurses Protest at Extendicare Shareholders Meeting, Demanding “Care, Not Profit” and Respectful New Contract
TORONTO, ON, April 16, 2026 – Today, members of the Ontario Nurses’ Association (ONA) staged a protest at Extendicare’s Annual Shareholders Meeting in Toronto to demand the nursing homes chain put better resident care before increased profit. At this meeting, shareholders voted to elect new board members and appoint a new board chair who has a background in private equity and real estate, not front-line care. This makes nurses and health-care professionals question the priorities of Extendicare’s board – resident care or more profits.
