Dear Ministers:

Re: Community Hub Infrastructure Fund

The Association of Ontario Health Centres (AOHC), the Ontario Community Support Association

(OCSA), and the Ontario Federation of Community Mental Health and Addiction Programs

(OFCMHAP) propose to work with the Government of Ontario to expand existing infrastructure initiatives through the establishment of a Community Hub Infrastructure Fund as a response to the economic challenges facing Ontario. We believe such an initiative would help drive progress on the priorities of the Government including: quality health care for families and a strong economy.
