Step-by-Step Guide
- Find your MPP
Use elections.on.ca or the MPP finder on this site to locate your local Member of Provincial Parliament by postal code.
- Write a personal letter
Keep it to one page. Include your child's situation briefly - age, diagnosis date, how long you have been waiting, and how the delay is affecting your family.
- Request a specific action
Ask for a meeting in their constituency office, ask them to raise the issue in Question Period, or ask them to provide a timeline for when your child will receive services.
- Send by email and follow up
If you do not receive a reply, follow up once by phone. Be polite and persistent.
- Share your response
If your MPP commits to action or provides a response with a timeline, consider sharing it publicly. Accountability is more effective when it is visible.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. MPPs track constituent contact volumes. When many families write about the same issue, it registers as a political priority. Individual letters are more effective than form letters - your personal story matters.
The most effective asks are concrete: (1) a meeting with you and your child, (2) a written question in the Legislature, or (3) a commitment to ask the Minister of Children about waitlist timelines. Specific asks get specific responses.
