50th Anniversary of Medicare In Canada


The Saskatchewan Office of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives is proud to present a 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.
