CK To Receive Update on Province’s Public Health Changes

We should have a better idea of the local implications of the province’s plans for public health services tonight.

General Manager of Community Human Services, April Rietdyk will be speaking in council chambers this evening to go over the government’s Health Protection and Promotion Act.

Part of the Act includes merging health service groups into one super agency, which will oversee local Ontario Health Teams.

It’s expected local taxpayers will have to shoulder more of the financial burden as costs are downloaded onto municipal governments.
