REPORT RECOMMENDATION

 

That the Community and Protective Services Committee and Council receive this report for information.

 

RECOMMANDATION DU RAPPORT

 

Que le Comité des services communautaires et de protection ainsi que le Conseil prennent connaissance du présent rapport. 

 

 

BACKGROUND

 

The legal obligations and authority for public health in Ontario are established under the Health Protection and Promotion Act. The 2008 Ontario Public Health Standards (OPHS) and Protocols establish the minimum requirements for fundamental public health programs and services. The development and delivery of an annual report is one requirement stipulated in the OPHS.

 

DISCUSSION

 

The 2009 Annual Report gives Ottawa Public Health (OPH) the opportunity to thank community partners, volunteers and sponsors for their continued support and contributions to public health programs and services. OPH also thanks and acknowledges the leadership and support of the City of Ottawa Council as the Board of Health.

 

The Ottawa Public Health 2009 Annual Report also provides an overview of the programs and services that are delivered every day to keep residents of Ottawa healthy and safe. It highlights services provided to the community during times of crisis – the H1N1 pandemic and the August 2009 west end flood – and demonstrates how OPH is improving services through new technologies and strengthening our local health care capacity.
