FOOD INSPECTION REPORT DISCLOSURE SYSTEM
The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit is taking the first step towards developing a disclosure system for food establishment inspection reports.
The Ontario Public Health Standards released by the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care at the end of 2008, require that all boards of health establish a procedure for disclosing information from food premises compliance inspection reports to the public upon request.
To ensure a disclosure system which best meets the requirements of citizens served by the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit, we are providing an opportunity for input. Two separate anonymous surveys are available. One survey for the general public; the second survey for the owners and operators of food establishments in the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark area. Please complete the appropriate survey by clicking on the link below. The surveys will be available
until March 12, 2010.
Next steps will include summarizing the survey feedback and developing a Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit food inspection report disclosure system to be implemented in 2010.
Thank you for participating in this survey.

Scheduled H1N1 and seasonal influenza clinics have been
completed for 2009/2010. Anyone who has not received a flu shot
and wants to be immunized should contact their primary health
care provider.
We are not scheduling influenza immunization appointments
except for children who require a second dose of H1N1 or
seasonal influenza vaccine. Parents whose children need a second
dose of vaccine should first contact their primary health care
provider. If a family does not have access to a primary health
care provider, appointments can be made in Brockville
(613-345-5685) or Smiths Falls (613-283-2740) offices only.
Please note that we have resumed regular immunization
clinics offering travel immunization. There is high demand for
travel clinics, so please book early. For clinic locations and
