“We need the CCPA to remind us that our dreams of a decent, egalitarian society are reasonable — indeed that with a little work, they are practical. And I love that practicality, that protection of the dream of the possible.”
— Naomi Klein
The Saskatchewan Office of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives is proud to present our commemorative 2013 calendar that documents the struggle for universal medical coverage in Saskatchewan and Canada. With original archival images, trace the battle for medicare from the creation of Swift Current Health Region No. 1, to the Hospital Services Plan, to the epic Saskatchewan Doctor’s Strike in the summer of 1962, to the triumphant passage of National Health Insurance in 1966. Please consider purchasing this calendar as a way to celebrate Canada’s most important of social programs.
