A coalition of education workers, doctors, parents and community activists came together Saturday in Mississauga to demand the Ford government do more to help Peel Region.
As of Saturday, there were 95,043 total cases of COVID-19 in Peel Region with Brampton accounting for almost 60 per cent of those infections.
The group gathered outside the Peel Public Health building to voice their demands, which include higher priority access to vaccines and additional support for essential workers including 10 paid sick days.
