Vel Evans and the Strate- gic Equine Inc. (SEI) team will be facilitating and coordinating the REACH strategic planning process. "We're honoured to be working with Central Huron and REACH on the development of a plan and strategy for REACHing into the future," says Vel Evans, Strategic Equine. "It's not our first rodeo, and one of the important lessons we've learned from working with horse groups, educa- tional facilities, govern- ment organizations and public stakeholders is that feedback is the breakfast of champions." REACH Huron was formed in 2009 as a Non -Profit Charitable Corporation. The Centre operates as a "motel for education" with its mission to be an educational centre of excellence encouraging sustainability and growth in rural Ontario, while showcasing the equine and agricultural industries. With its partnership cre- ated with Guelph Univer- sity Ridgetown, Fanshawe College, REACH is a unique place to take in a weekend event or receive training to improve on or change your career. A public input session has been scheduled for February 12th, 2015 from 7:OOpm - 9:OOpm at REACH Huron located at 169 Beech Street in Clinton ON. Every- one is welcome to attend and provide input into the future direction and vision of REACH Huron. Health Unit checking student vaccination records The Huron County Health Unit has sent letters to stu- dents who don't have a complete immunization record. The Health Unit annually reviews immunization records for students attend- ing school. Under the Immunization of School Pupils Act (ISPA) Ontario students are required to be vaccinated against several infectious diseases in order to attend school. "Students may have received these vaccines but the Health Unit may not have the records," says Pub- lic Health Nurse Shirley Chalmers. "Any vaccina- tions you receive at your doctor's office do not auto- matically get shared with the Health Unit." If your family has received a letter, the Health Unit asks you to make sure the stu- dent's shots are up to date. Families should fill out the rest of the notice and return it to the Health Unit by email, fax or phone. This first immunization notice will be followed up by a second notice for any- one who does not respond. Ontario students must be vaccinated against diphthe- ria, tetanus, polio, measles, mumps and rubella. Last year vaccines for meningitis and pertussis (whooping cough) were added to the list, as well as varicella (chickenpox) vaccine for students born in 2010 or later. To report an immuniza- tion or to ask questions about these changes, please contact us: • Call 519.482.3416 or 1.877.837.6143 ext. 2050 • E-mail immunize@huron- county.ca • Fax 519.482.9014
