Students at Clinton Public School
made themselves part of the ongoing
climate actions inspired by Swedish
climate change activist Greta
Thunberg by hosting their own
climate change protest last week.
Friday afternoon, members of the
student body joined other local
schools, including Seaforth Public
School and other Avon Maitland
District School Board’s Perth
County schools, in encouraging
people to have less of an impact on
the environment through carbon
emissions.
Students Ava Dawe, Leanne
Melvin and Grace Allen started the
initiative and spoke at a protest in
front of the school. The school’s
administration gave space and
supervision for the protest for
safety’s sake.
The trio encouraged people to take
on climate change by raising money
through busking, encouraging
carpooling and recycling clothes.
The three said that learning about
Thunberg and how important her
work is motivated them to get
involved.
Alvin said it was important for
students to use their voices to try and
make a better future for good
decisions.
“There are small changes to try,
like walking and biking,” she said.
Prior to the afternoon protest, the
trio had been in Goderich
where a larger, public protest took
place.
The students did a good job
getting involved, the trio said,
making signs both in class and at
home.

variety of other activities,” Michiels
said in her report.
Because of the urgent nature of
the request, Michiels suggested
issuing the RFP the day after the
meeting, Sept. 4, with a proposed
deadline of Sept. 27 at 2 p.m.
She anticipated implementing the
new website in the summer of 2020.
Council approved Michiels’
request to move forward with a new
website.

The Wingham and area and
Listowel Memorial Hospitals shut
down information technology (IT)
servers and services last week due to
a ransomware attack.
The Listowel Wingham
Healthcare Alliance, which operates
both hospitals, announced on
Thursday that its IT systems had
been disrupted, resulting in a Code
Grey at the hospitals, as well as at
the Fisher Family Primary Care
Centre and the Royal Oaks Medical
Centre. Interruptions to IT services
were first noticed on Wednesday,
Sept. 25.
As of Sept. 27, the alliance
announced that the result of the
disruption was a ransomware attack,
though no information has been
released as to how who is holding
the systems for ranson or how much
is being demanded.
Information such as medical
records and associated data was
made inaccessible according to the
hospital, however the hospital
alliance doesn’t believe patient data
has been compromised.
The alliance’s computer systems
were taken off line to prevent any
data breaches.
Similar cyber attacks have
occurred recently in Stratford and
Woodstock, which had its municipal
offices and police service attacked
earlier this month, as well as other
hospitals and municipalities across
the country.
Both hospitals remained open,
including emergency rooms,
however no patient information was
available to help medical
professionals deal with patients.
Manual and paper procedures were
implemented at the hospital as an
interim measure.
Some non-emergency services
were suspended, and non-
emergency patients were advised to
visit other centres, with hospitals in
Palmerston, Walkerton and
Goderich offering to take on
patients.
The alliance stated that efforts
were underway to re-open some
previously closed services on
Monday.
