TORONTO, 10 September 2020 /CNW/ - Ontario children are victims of a health care crisis that the COVID-19 pandemic is only making worse. For some, it’s a matter of life and death.

Recent data from an Abacus Poll commissioned by Children’s Healthcare Canada (CHC) reveals the vast majority of Canadians are deeply worried about the future of our country’s children and youth. Of those polled, fully 92% believe children should be a priority as the Canadian government develops its COVID19 recovery plan, and beyond, with 70% of respondents expecting the pandemic to have long-term effects on children.
