Welcome to the Ontario Coalition for Accountability (OntarioCfA).
- Ontario Ombudsman Andre Marin
The Ontario Coalition for Accountability is an advocacy organization in Ontario, Canada that represents the interests of over 1,900 Ontario residents annually, who have nowhere else to turn when systemic issues arise with Ontario’s “MUSH” sector. The “MUSH” sector is comprised of Municipalities, Universities, School boards, Hospitals, Nursing Homes, Long-Term Care facilities, Police, and Children’s Aid Societies.
Over the past few years, our movement has become a stronger presence in the Ontario legislature. By presenting well-researched submissions to the government, we are able to bring the interests of the children, families and accountability to government officials and other decision makers.
Prior to the introduction of Bill 131 last November, our group took the initiative to begin notifying other special interest groups fighting for accountability of the MUSH sector (Nursing Homes, Hospitals, Children’s Aid Societies, School Boards, Universities and Police) and got them engaged with the Ombudsman Bills and petitions. It’s a coalition we need to continue building as it greatly increases our exposure and touches many more lives.
What we urgently need are individuals who are reasonably good at public speaking and comfortable with having regular meetings with their MPP’s to represent their communities. As a grassroots movement we require the involvement of all individuals. Because of this we must always be mindful of our behavior, appearance and control the flow of information to ensure maximum results.
