Corrections
In a story last week reporting
that Para-Med Health Services had
celebrated its first anniversary in
Huron County, Branch Manager
Sandy Davidson was wrongly quot
ed as saying that her service
differed from that of Town and
Country Homemakers in that Para
Med provides a wider range of
services. What Mrs. Davidson said
was that Para-Med provides a
wider range of health services.
In the same story, it was also
reported that Para-Med personnel
had recently taken part in a rally at
Queen’s Park; this was incorrect.
Also, the cut-line beneath last
week’s front-page picture referred
to Mrs. Sarah Anderson as baby
Trevor McArter’s great-great
grandmother. Mrs. Anderson is in
fact Trevor’s great-great aunt.
The Citizen apologizes for any
inconvenience.
