Keep Public Health Close to Home
Overview
CIPP members at Ottawa Public Health are committed to protecting your health and the health of our community. But recent proposals to cut funding and merge Ottawa Public Health with all of Eastern Ontario will harm the services that Ottawa counts on. As the second largest city in Ontario we need to keep public health close to home and focused on the unique needs of our community.
