In alignment with the Ontario Surgical Quality Improvement Network (ON-SQIN) and Ontario Health’s “Cut the Carbon” quality improvement initiative, our Perioperative Services department is implementing a green initiative that asks patients coming in for surgery to bring their own bag to put their belongings in. This small step will help reduce the number of plastic bags we provide patients, ultimately reducing our environmental impact.

As such, surgical patients will be asked to bring in a clean, reusable bag to place their belongings in.

Thank you for your cooperation.
