Health Unit looking for
The Huron County Health Unit is current-
ly looking for a nutritionist to replace Cathy
'Thomson who has resigned effective August
26. •
During presentation of the Huron County
•Board of Health report at the July session of
county council, it was learned the board has
decided to adjust th.e nutritionist's salary
schedule to the same as that of the health
educator. This results in the minimum in-,
creased for 1987 from $999 bi-weekly 1$25,974
annually) to $1,040 bi-weekly 1127,040) and
the maximum increased from $1,208
$31,403) to $1,248 bi-weekly ($32,448 ).
Reason for the upgrading, council was
told is that each of the two positions requires
similar qualifications and should fall within
the same salary grid. •
In addition, neighboring counties are also
advertising for nutritionists at a minimum
salary of $29,500 and $29,600°
