| 1 | James C. Curran | The closure of the GNGH Maternity Ward -where both of my children were born- would not only be a black eye for the City of Niagara Falls, but a severe trouncing on the rights of women in the City of Niagara Falls. |

| 3 | Jim Diodati | Labour and Delivery is largely unpredictable, often complicated and very emotional...keep it right under our noses in Niagara Falls! |

| 10 | Cindy Diodati | The whole idea of the hospital changes "smells" of an agenda to me! Who's to benefit - surely not the citizens of Niagara Falls! |

| 19 | Anonymous | I delivered all 3 of my children at GNGH & received fantastic care in 1990, 1993 and 1997. I could not have imagined having to travel much more distance than within Niagara Falls to have delivered. As stated in the petition; the birthing process can be unpredictable! |

| 23 | Dino Fazio | While I understand the financial issues faced by NHS, the detrimental ramifications to Niagara Falls of closing the maternity ward are significant.
How can we claim to be a "world-class" destination playing host to 10+ million people every year and then not have a basic service like delivering babies available. Longer-term, think of the consequences of a lost identity. In 75 years, you'd be hard-pressed to find a person who can boast that they were born in aurguably the most recognizable city in the world - Niagara Falls.
You must find alternatives to closing the maternity ward in Niagara Falls. |
| 24 | Caroline Giura | The closure of the GNGH Maternity Ward would be a travisty it could make the difference between a life or death situation. |

| 28 | Colleen Cuviello | Is the Niagara Helath System prepared for the liability that will go along when women cannot do the distance from their residence to St. Catharines should their be a medical emergency with the labour or delivery?? That could be even more costly than keeping the maternity ward open! |

| 31 | Kathy Richardson | We need a maternity ward in Niagara Falls. |
| 32 | Julia Sebastian | DO NOT LET THE CLOSURE OF OUR MATERNITY WARD AT GNGH HAPPEN! |

| 34 | Anonymous | I think it is terrible that with my taxes rising so much cutbacks are always made. I would not mind if I got more for my money, however constant cutbacks will just be giving me thought to reconsidering where I live. We need a maturnity dept. in Niagara Falls. |

| 36 | Lori Kidwell | This is a public disgrace. I am not a citizen of the greater Niagara area, but this would set a terrible precident.
Stop this closure. Keep health care public. |

| 44 | Gary Sweetman | Don't close the Maternity Ward of GNGH. It is certainly needed. |

| 46 | Ginger B | My husband and I were both born at GNGH, as were many of our family members, all long-time Niagara Falls residents. We want our baby, expected in November, to share our same birthplace. All it takes is a look at our family tree, stretching back to the 1600s, to see that as generations pass, one's name, birth date & birthplace seem to be all that is left. To have a birthplace that has nothing to do with where we lived our lives risks us losing pieces of our family history. We do not consider ourselves residents of the Niagara Region; we are proud to call our hometown Niagara Falls. That is what is at risk - our identity. |
