Last week, we were in the room when federal Health Minister Jane Philpott said she was “very moved” by her visit to Insite, Vancouver’s supervised injection site. She went on to praise Insite for saving countless lives. [1]

Last week, with your support, we delivered hundreds messages of hope for public health care directly to the federal health minister.
The stunning visual of hundreds of hearts strung along Georgia street was impossible to miss. We received fantastic media coverage featuring public health care advocates who had gathered from across the country. All day people stopped to talk about health care, and to contribute to the public art installation.
On the final day of the ministers' conference, we
