Along the same lines......and perhaps of interest to you.  Call up the 
following:

Ministry of Health
327-7730 or outside of the local Toronto calling area 1-800-461-2036, and 
ask for a copy of the publication 'CONSENT TO TREATMENT:  A guide to the Act'

The Advocacy Project Team
314-8910 or 1-800-665-9092, and ask for a copy of the publication 'The 
Advocacy Act:  What you need to know', and 'The Advocacy Act:  A general 
overview'.

I can't find the number right now...but call up the Queen's Park 
Information Services, and ask for the general number for the Ministry of 
the Attorney General, Office of the Public Trustee; and ask for a copy of 
the 'Power of Attorney Kit', and information on the Substitute Decisions Act.
