South Bruce Grey Health Centre to receive $3 million for infrastructure from province
The South Bruce Grey
Health Centre has been
awarded a $3 -million Excep-
tional Circumstance Grant
to upgrade the Kincardine
site by the province.
The Ontario Ministry of
Health and Long -Term Care
made the announcement in
a media release Sept. 14,
2016 through the hospital
network, which represents
Kincardine, Walkerton,
Chesley and Durham.
"We are very pleased to be
receiving this funding and
the timing is crucial," said
Paul Rosebush, president
and chief executive officer of
the health centre. "Some of
the major infrastructure at
our Kincardine site will
shortly be at end of life. This
substantial grant will allow
us to keep the Kincardine
hospital fully operational to
serve our patients."
The infrastructure renewal
will take place in 2016-2017
and SBGHC applied for the
grant earlier this year to
address the "significant need
for infrastructure upgrades
at the organization's Kincar-
dine site."
The funding will be used
to begin the process of
replacing the facility's boil-
ers, chillers and other essen-
tial equipment to ensure
patient and staff comfort.
An additional $477,269 in
one-time funding was also
allocated through the Health
Police - South Bruce OPP
SHARING THE ROAD
WITH FARM EQUIPMENT
Area farmers are working
on harvesting their crops
which means you can
expect to see farm vehicles
on the roadways. The South
Bruce Ontario Provincial
Police (OPP) would like to
offer motorists some safety
tips on sharing the road
with farm equipment:
• Recognize slow moving
vehicles by the orange tri-
angle and use caution.
• Realize that farm vehicles
travel around 35 km/h.
Slow down when you see
farm equipment on the
road and be prepared to
stop.
• Watch for left turns. Not all
farm vehicles have turn sig-
nals - watch for farmer's sig-
nalling a turn using the same
hand signals as a bicycle
rider.
• Be aware that farmers
with long or broad equip-
ment sometimes need to
make a wide turn. If a trac-
tor swings right, be careful,
it maybe starting a left turn.
• The farmer may be unable
to pull off the road due to
equipment weight or shoul-
der issues. Wait for a safe
opportunity to pass.
• Leave a wide berth when
passing. Some farm equip-
ment takes up more than
one lane and some pieces of
equipment have pieces pro-
truding that can be hard to
see.
• When finished passing,
don't stop or slow down in
front of the farm vehicle.
Large equipment can't
brake as quickly as a car.
Be courteous with farm
vehicle operators; treat
them as you would any
other vehicle driver on the
road. Aggressive driving
isn't just unsafe, it's against
the law. Aggressive drivers
should be reported to
police.
Huron -Bruce MPP Thompson launches initiative to support agricultural Experts
MPP for Huron -Bruce Lisa
Thompson has launched a
new initiative with the intro-
duction of Bill 4, the Sup-
porting Agricultural Experts
in Their Field Act, 2016.
The bill seeks to address
the limitations that are being
placed on Professional Pest
Advisors (CCAs & PAgs).
Beginning August
2017, changes to ON Reg.
63/09 will prevent Certified
Crop Advisors (CCAs) and
Professional Agrolo-
gists (PAgs) associated a
manufacturer or retailer of a
Class 12 pesticide from act-
ing as a professional pest
advisor.
"Across the agri-food sector
I've received unanimous
acknowledgement that
something needs to be done
to address the limitations that
will be placed on professional
pest advisors next year," said
Thompson. "If this govern-
ment insists on restricting the
use of neonicotinoids via reg-
ulations for goodness sake -
let's at least make sure they
are workable."
Ontario has approximately
600 licensed Certified Crop
Advisors and Professional
Agrologists willing and capa-
ble of conducting pest
assessments.
It has been said the
government's planned agricultural inputs they
changes to the definition of a need.

sors to just 80, leaving only 2 whomever they choose, and

Ontario. ment will work together with
As a result, farmers will the agri-food industry to
find it increasingly difficult ensure Ontario's agri-food
to obtain the necessary experts can all be outstand-
assessments and documen- ing in their field," said
tation required to access the Thompson.
