Sudbury PC candidate Troy Crowder pledged his dedication to bringing a new children's hospital to Sudbury with the launch of the website NeoKidsNow.ca.

After announcing that as MPP he would work tirelessly to get NEO Kids a new facility in Sudbury, Crowder announced the Ontario PC Party is launching a new petition to give the community an opportunity to have their voices heard.

“I have been very clear, as your MPP I will make a NEO Kids facility a priority,” said Crowder. “But talk is cheap, and I wanted to take a real and tangible action.”

Crowder encouraged everyone in Northern Ontario who wants to see better health care services to sign the petition at www.neonow.ca, and said that he will be dropping off the signatures at MPP Glenn Thibeault’s office.

“This petition will allow the community an opportunity to make their voices heard,” said Crowder. “I encourage everyone who wants to see better health care delivery in Northern Ontario to sign the petition.”

NEO Kids’ board applied for funding from the Liberal government in 2015, but their application was rejected.

“Northerners are tired of being ignored by this Liberal government. They are tired of being treated like a ‘no man’s land’,” said Crowder. 

“I am proud to represent a party where Northern Ontario matters, and I am proud to represent a leader who has taken the time to visit Northern Ontario more than 30 times to learn about our community first-hand."
