Over the past several months, the Medical Officer of Health Hiring Committee has been working alongside Phelps Group to find Toronto’s next Medical Officer of Health in preparation for Dr. Eileen de Villa’s departure at the end of this year. After an extensive search and interview process, we are bringing forward a recommendation to appoint the new Medical Officer of Health.
\r\n\r\n
A report on the appointment of the recommended Medical Officer of Health will be submitted for consideration to the November 18th meeting of the Board of Health.

This act is the result of the government’s commitment to ban supervised consumption sites within 200 metres of schools and child care centres from earlier this year. It stipulates that no person shall establish or operate a supervised consumption site at a location that is less than 200 metres from a designated premises. This legislation will force the closure of at least five supervised consumption facilities in Toronto, putting countless lives at risk and burdening our first response services.
\r\n
As this board has previously shared its support for safe consumption sites, I recommend that we direct the Medical Officer of Health to provide comments on Bill 223 on our behalf.
The Board of Health:
\r\n\r\n
1. Directed the Medical Officer of Health and the Chair, Board of Health, to submit a letter to the Ministry of Health responding to the Safer Streets, Stronger Communities Act.
