We pose that question to Elizabeth Holmes, who is the Director of Health Policy at the Canadian Cancer Society. Plus, it's no secret that the Ottawa Mission is overflowing with occupants. But as 2025 begins, did you know that some of their clients have been sleeping on plastic chairs? CEO Peter Tilley says, due to a lack of space, that is the reality they are currently facing.
