It was agreed to follow Lanark's nominating committee policy of even distribution according to municipalities and individual strengths. Glenda reported that the committee is still waiting for copies of other CHC by-laws to compare with Lanark's. Liability Incorporation was once again discussed, as we presently have no liability insurance. Dave Stewart suggested that if we were a committee of the Cobden council that we would be covered under their policy. These health service providers will supply the services and staff and we provide the facility.
Negotiations are on going.
Rainbow Valley Meeting and Meeting with Sean Conway Dave Shields reported on the Rainbow Valley CHC public meeting that he attended in Killaloe on September 14th. He offered our committee's support and gave them some handouts and information. They were grateful and will be in touch with us in the near future. Dave also met with Sean Conway that evening and Sean agreed to speak to Elizabeth Witmer, Minister of Health, to update her on our progress. He feels that our case is very strong and that we will be funded as soon as the present review is finished and freeze on funds is lifted.
