Dear SDOH colleagues,

One of the cornerstone responsibilities of all governments is to safeguard its 
citizens by protecting them from the dangers of infectious diseases and 
environmental risks, and promoting good health practices. After extensive 
consultation within the Province and external research into the practices of 
the worlds most respected public health protection organizations, Ontario is 
taking the next step forward in the protection of its citizens. Launching the 
Ontario Agency for Health Protection and Promotion presents an opportunity to 
build an organization through which Ontario can strengthen both public health 
capacity and confidence.

If you recognize the importance of the mission and are energized by the 
responsibility associated with being a Board Member, here is a unique 
opportunity to take a leadership role.

The legislation to create the Ontario Agency for Health Protection and 
Promotion has been passed by the Ontario Legislature. The Ontario government is 
now proceeding to establish the agency, including a search for board members.

The Ontario government's vision for the Ontario Agency for Health Protection 
and Promotion is for it to become an internationally recognized centre of 
expertise dedicated to protecting and promoting the health of all Ontarians 
through the application and advancement of science and knowledge. As the new 
Board is assembled, it will assume strategic stewardship of this public 
commitment and public trust. Collectively, the Board will contribute a breadth 
of backgrounds, values and leadership skills that represent the diversity and 
strengths of the Province. Previous board governance experience is essential.

If you wish to nominate someone or put your own name forward for consideration 
as a Board Member, please contact Paul Stanley or Tanya Todorovic at
