Lyme disease concerns MPP
Huron -Bruce MPP Lisa
Thompson tabled a motion in the
Ontario Legislature last week calling
on the Minister of Health and Long -
Term Care to enhance and update
data collection techniques and
surveillance strategies for black -
legged ticks.
The motion has support from the
Ontario Lyme Alliance, Lyme
Ontario, the Ontario Federation of
Agriculture, as well as local
Lyme disease advocates such as
Samantha Simon, whose young
daughter is affected by Lyme
disease.
"Identifying Lyme disease across
Ontario must be a priority for this
government, because tick
populations are spreading," said
Thompson. "We need to have
confidence that the government has
the most effective, up-to-date
tools to identify where risk areas
may be. Based on the 2017
Ontario Public Health map, clearly
there is a disconnect with the true
situation across the province.
"That is why I am calling on the
government to make this
incremental step ahead of next
season, so that we can prevent
as many cases as possible, and
raise awareness so new cases and
be treated properly and
effectively."
Thompson pointed to new tools
being used in other jurisdictions
such as the innovative "tick alert
app" in France. The app allows
people to send photos of the ticks
that bit them and their pets to the
government, which then confirms
the insect and geotags the incident to
update the location of ticks.
There is also an app created by a
student in Quebec which can help
identify insects so people can
identify what has bit them.
"Apps that can collect data for the
government while also raising
awareness for Ontarians are an
important step in the battle against
Lyme," concluded Thompson.
Cool dudes
If ever there was a time to act cool, it's when winter arrives
like it did this week. North Woods Elementary School
hosted its annual Christmas concert and, during a dress
rehearsal on Monday, students were able to done their
sunglasses, Santa hats and hockey jerseys for their
production of Slap Shot Santa Scores Again. Above, Triston

Building
bylaw
adopted
Morris-Turnberry Council
adopted a new building bylaw to
address several outstanding
concerns with the bylaw's
predecessor.
During council's Dec. 5 meeting,
Chief Building Official Kirk
Livingston, who Morris-Turnberry
shares with other municipalities,
explained that council's previous
bylaw, which was replaced during
the meeting, only met the standards
of the 2004 building code.
The new bylaw would incorporate
changes to modernize the code,
bring it in line with neighbouring
municipalities and allow the bylaw
to refer to the consolidated fee and
charges bylaw.
"That's a nice change,"
Livingston said. "I think it should
always reference that document
going forward."
By referencing the consolidated
fee and charges bylaw, which
includes all charges that ratepayers
may run into for various services
and infractions, the municipality
can change the fee bylaw instead of
updating the building bylaw.
Livingston said that, since the
municipality updates the fee bylaw
annually, it makes more sense to do
that.
The document also gives the
municipality "a little bit of teeth"
according to Livingston.
He said the previous bylaw didn't
provide enough power to building
officials to call for changes, halt
development or ask for more
information and this new document
addresses some of those concerns.
"It's really easy, with this
document, to say we need additional
paperwork," he said. "It won't be
too invasive and won't change
anything we're doing right now, but
it will allow us [to do] that if we
need it"
Council approved the policy as
presented.
