April 14, 2025
MISSISSAUGA #8 FIRST NATION — Anishinaabekwe lawyer Laura Mayer is calling for better healthcare accessibility in Northern Ontario during her election campaign as the NDP candidate in the newly formed Sault Ste. Marie–Algoma riding.
“Too many people in Sault Ste. Marie–Algoma struggle to access timely medical care, maternity care, and mental health services close to home,” says Mayer, a mother of three, Mississauga #8 councillor, and executive director at the National Council of Indigenous Midwives. “I will fight to expand healthcare services in the north and ensure no one is left behind.”
Mayer says the number one concern she has heard from constituents during the election campaign is about the trade war with the United States.
