Was the regular meeting of Marmora and Lake Council.

October 22nd

I chaired the regular meeting of the Southeast Health Board in Kingston. This was a very important meeting as it resulted in a unanimous vote of the Board to set the formula for municipal harmonization of the three merged Boards that there is equal contribution based on per capita populations.

October 23rd

I attended a meeting of the Doctor Recruitment Committee.  John Nicholas, Hastings County, provided an update on his attendance on recruitment job fairs for the County and discussions with several interested candidates.  He reported that this area is attractive to prospective doctors who need to work in "rural" communities.  This area is considered "rural" but it is not "remote" and there is a desirable recreation component and incentives.
