It turns out though that everything is on the front burner.

GUELPH POLITICAST #398 – Doctors Wanted

Published on by Adam A. DonaldsonLeave a comment

By the numbers $43,335 per year for two years is probably the smallest ask of this budget cycle, but the work that money will fund is actually pretty important: Attracting new doctors to Guelph and Wellington. For many of us that live here, Guelph is a destination that sells itself, but the competition for a small number of new doctors is fierce and Guelph-Wellington is one of the last municipalities to have a formal plan to get them. Is it too late for us to get in the game? Continue reading “GUELPH POLITICAST #398 – Doctors Wanted” →

Published on by Adam A. DonaldsonLeave a comment

Now you may be asking yourself, “The COVID-19 Assessment Centre is still in business?” As a matter of fact, it is.
