The South East Health Unit (SEHU) Board of Health met today in Brockville for their regular monthly meeting. The agenda package is available online.
Board recognizes Catherine Lovell for exemplary service
Medical Officer of Health and CEO Dr. Piotr Oglaza began the meeting by thanking Executive Assistant Catherine Lovell for her dedication and commitment to public health. She will be retiring in September after 24 years of service, and he noted that she will be missed. His sentiments were echoed by Board Chair Jan O’Neill, who noted that Catherine always went above and beyond to ensure she always had what she needed to fulfil her role as chair, and she wished her well in her retirement.
Municipal levies
The Board deferred motions related to the harmonization of municipal levies to the September meeting, and asked staff to include for context a summary of information presented to the board previously and key points from prior discussions so that they can make an informed decision. Staff will be preparing a briefing note with additional explanatory information, including a comparison of the impact to services at different funding levels.
Meetings
The next meeting of the Board is Sept. 24, 2025.
