Health and Community



Many of you know, I have a love affair with good food, the outdoors, and a simple life. All candidates got an email the other day from the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit. It was to encourage us to add health concerns to our platform. 
From my perspective, it has been, long before I became a candidate. I've done many Facebook posts on affordable housing, food and gardening initiatives, walk-able communities, parks & play grounds.
On the Subject of Doctors and walk-in Clinics, there is not much we can do, as that's under the control of higher authorities.
What we can do is promote health fitness to reduce the need. 
We could also put all available resources into one place like a Town web-page or printed brochure.


Out on the campaign trail the other day, the subject of a walk in clinic came up over and over. It surprised me how many are unaware that non emergency help is just a phone call away....please share the link with your family and friends...
