A Health and Safety Committee was held on September 9. No issues were brought forward.
Board Activity and Actions
th

Oro-Medonte. Oro-Medonte staff will be bringing the recommended amount to their council for
budget approval.
Library Building
Property Issues
1.The lower windows in the mezzanine area have leaked a number of times during severe
storms. The City has had Orillia Glass examine the windows to determine the next steps.
Orillia glass examined the windows and determined it was not a caulking or installation
issue, but felt it was a flashing issue. City staff is looking into the issue.
2.West street door has issues with the push bar mechanism remaining in the locked
position. Remedial measures are inplace while we wait for the issue to be resolved. It is
not a safety issue as the push bar release when pushed but will not stay in the open
position unless it is tied off. This problem is now resolved and the doors are working.
3.Backflow preventer has been leaking, it is now repaired. The repair took more than four
hours and required Library staff making alternate arrangements for washroom access for
both the public and the staff. In addition, the temperature in the building cooled down to
between 19-20 degrees.
The automatic electronic water level sensor had failed causing the excess filling and
water to overflow into the bell drain. This resulted in the increased water consumption.
4.The automatic electronic water level sensor in the fountain had failed causing the excess
filling and water to overflow into the bell drain. This resulted in the increased water
consumption and increased water costs putting this account over budget. The City has
installed a water meter on the fountain as well as on the boilers.

5.Mezzanine Lighting and Childrens Ramp lighting: The scissor lift from the Opera House
has been borrowed and the lights on the Childrens ramp were changed. The City is
working to have the lights in the mezzanine replaced as soon as possible. Presently, they
are waiting on quotes for the bulbs and hope to have the work completed not later than
early November. The area is not adequately lit in the evenings at the present time.

September 23rd to discuss adjustments to the budget reflecting changes in the maintenance and
facilities responsibilities the City will be responsible for in 2016 and those that will remain with
the Library. We are still working on the reporting structure for these accounts.
th
I attended the SMT (Senior Management Team Meeting) on September 11.The meetings
provide a good opportunity to be aware of issues taking place at the City as well as new initiative
and provide an opportunity to give the Library perspective on City happenings and issues.

weeks. Some facilities issues were discussed and some solutions will be worked on and
monitored.

Report of the Director of Children and Youth Services
September 2015
Submitted by Sarah Csekey
Our Summer Reading Club brought a wave of new members to our department. We kept the
momentum in September activating community connections and facilitating the return to
routines.
Community Engagement
Earlier this year, I applied for the OPL to join the Child Youth and Family Coalition of Simcoe
County. The Library wasaccepted as an organizationto this Coalitionat the end of summerand I
attended the meeting in September in Midhurst at the Simcoe County Board of Education
administration building. The Coalitions mandate is to foster a community where all children,
youth and families reach their full potential.The strategic goals include:
Reduce significant threat (safe, stable environment)
Support human development (supportive adults)
Support assets & protective factors (every door is the right door)
Compassionate community
I received a warm welcome on behalf of the OPLand participated in an advocacy strategy
session. This is an important connection for our Library with key informants from our area
gathered with a common purpose.
Erin Damery worked with the City of Orillia to offer a library activity at the OPL Culture Days
site with a Messy Art Party and Family Seasonal Art Projects. Orillians of all ages joined us and
contributed to a collaborative weaving art project to be displayed in the Childrens Department.
The Messy Art Partylived up to its name: Erin createdsalad spinner art, roller printmaking, and
kinetic sculptures. Erinhas joined Orillias organizing committee for Culture Days 2016.
The Youth Summit welcomed 78 teens to our Library to engage with 14 different community
organizations. Lindsey Toutant coordinated with Ashely Morgan, of Start Talking About Coping
and Drugs (STACD) Youth Transition Project and Transitional Aged Youth (TAY) Simcoe to
host this unique event with the goal of discussing the needs and wants of youth in our
community in regards to services that are currently in place, or needed. Ashley will analyze the
summit to assess the success of this day and share the findings with us to inform our teen
programs and partnerships.

The Couchiching Jubilee House is offering Community Connections Life Course for the second
year at the Library. This eight-week course was developed to meet and support the needs of
women waiting to access services in the community. Topics include healthy relationships,
vocational planning and self-care habits. We are supporting this course formally in our
department, September to November, by designating and preparing activities and literacy touch-
points in our childrens program room for Community Connections childcare.
Three Community Project Initiative(CPI) students from Georgian Colleges Social Service
Worker program began work on a specialized night at the Library for pregnant and new moms to
introduce them to our organization and other important family health community supports. They
met with Erin, Amy Lambertsen and I to brainstorm and develop an event structure that we can
use bi-annually with the goal to introduce the Library as a community and literacy support for
families.
In talking with the Georgian College CPI students we discussed the barriers they see to serving
new parents. They articulated one fear, the worry of a baby wrecking the books. One idea we
brainstormed was a baby damage insurance coupon to include in the Welcome Wagon bags.
With that idea in mind, I created these coupons for the next round of Welcome Wagon inserts.
The coupons serve as an introduction to early literacy, a warm reminded that we are a welcoming
place for new parents, and a fun way to market our Library to new parents.
The academic year for Lakehead University education students means good things for our
department. Both the free tutoring program Circle of Readers and the Battle of the Books
elementary school reading partnership have started with help of student interns. Both programs
have become mainstays of our school year and we welcome the chance to work with LU again.
Special Events
Our younger members were invited to bring their favourite stuffed toys for our Stuffed Animal
Sleepover this month. Being entrusted with a childs most valuable item is a big deal. We are
honoured that our bond with these Library kids is strong. After a storytelling and activity
program, the children went home, and Erin and Amy set up the animals in a variety of hilarious
scenes around the Library after the children went home. On Saturday the kids came back for

their stuffed friends and got a pack of colour pictures of their Stuffed Animal Sleepover party.
This popular program will return in January for a winter overnight party.
New Initiatives
Inklings, a program for teens who colour outside the lines, was developed by Val Barath, our
evening YA Readers Advisor. Val used thetrend of adult colouring books as enticement to link
teens with each other without social pressure, and to the Library as an organization. We had a
limit of six teens for this quiet club and are full with a waitlist of three.
Programs
The OPL Teen Advisory Board (TAB) had a high-octane first meeting of the school year with 14
new members and two returning teens. This was an informational meeting regarding what a TAB
is, what happens at the October presidential election and the role of members. The group was
eager to brainstorm for a March Break lock-in and are energized to be an active part of the
Librarys planning.
Orillia families and caregivers welcomed the routine of the school year and registered for our
early literacy programs in the Library. Our traditional Library storytime roster started this month
with a Caregivers, Baby, Toddlers and Preschool programs. Amy, Erin and Lindsey designed
age-specific schedules for each storytime highlighting early literacy skills.
Our evening programs continue to gain popularity with Minecraft Club, Jammie Storytime,
PokémonTraining Camp, and Family Craft Night. Familiesare using these nights as their
weekly visits to the Library and we are glad to build strong relationships with our members as a
family group.Fall is here and thenights are longer. Our programs are visible from the street and
market the Library as a community meeting place. Our staff member Melissa Robertson sent me
this emailafter driving down the main street with her husband on a Thursday night:
“… what we saw looked so amazing from outside. CS glowed against the dusk light and
the place was pumpin’. I don’t know if there was a program or event last night but CS
looked packed! You could clearly make out Erin standing in the middle of the
department and it looked like she was holding court – lol. There were people and
children all over and everyone was engaged. I thought that would make a great pic for
our social media or any campaigns – just OPL on a regular Thursday night.”
Saturday morning drop-in Storytimes continue to be popular. Because we take turns as facilitators of this
day, our staff have a chance to connect with new people and introduce new faces of the Library to
customers.

From the Medical Officer of
Health
As the population of Simcoe and Muskoka grows, protecting and promoting
programs and services. In recent years, Simcoe Muskoka District Health Units
activities have included a focus on the following broad areas:
Promoting Policy
Healthy public policy is the most powerful means of improving the
health of our communities. Advocating for health supporting policy
remains a major aspect of our work. To this end, during and following
last falls election, we provided new municipal councils with a primer
on a range of public health issues: food access and security, poverty,
alcohol, community water fluoridation, housing, air quality, and active
transportation.
We continue to support our communities to become more compact,
complete and supportive of walking and cycling, with increased
access to public transportation. Our work included the release of our
updated
Healthy Community Design Policy Statements for Official
in 2014.
Plans
Identifying Priorities
Our focus on the social determinants of health is ongoing. Part of this
work involves assessing and modifying our programs to ensure they
address the needs of vulnerable people, including individuals and
families living in low income.
Preparing for and responding to potential and emerging health
hazards is a key public health mandate. This is particularly important
during large event gatherings, such as the 2014 International Plowing
Match and the 2015 Pan Am Games, where we collaborate with
municipal and provincial agencies to protect the publics health.
In the summer of 2014 we introduced a heat alert and response
system one example of a public health response to the impact of
climate change. As well, we supported local municipalities funding applica-
tions for the provincial Healthy Kids Community Challenge, and we will work
with the two successful communities in fulfilling their plans.
Sharing Knowledge
Knowledge is needed to protect and promote health. We launched a website portal for
primary care providers, including physicians, with current information and guidance on
public health matters. We also successfully launched , a database that enhances
Panorama
our vaccination information system. Early in 2015, the public health inspection results for food
premises in Simcoe Muskoka became available on our Inspection Connection website.
Maintaining and enhancing the publics health requires both tried and true programs, as well as
responses to new and emerging challenges. The past year has been no exception.

Peace of mind when dining
The new Inspection Connection
One of the health units best known services in our communities is inspecting places where food is
prepared and served. To give the public easier access to the results of these inspections, the health
Inspection Connection Signage
The website offers
www.inspectionconnection.ca
map-based information about inspections at food
premises. For each premise it provides a brief overview
of critical or non-critical issues that have arisen at the
facilities, and whether they were corrected. It also helps
educate people on the health units role in protecting the
public from foodborne illness.
Inspectors present the establishments with green
certificates of inspection indicating that, on the date of
inspection, the minimum standards of the regulation were
met. Red closure signs may accompany an order to close
the establishmentsomething that only happens when an
inspection uncovers an immediate health hazard.
Food establishments are inspected in accordance with Ontarios Health Protection and Promotion Act and inspection
results must be made available to the public. Posting-based systems similar to the health units are being used by a
growing number of health units in Ontario and across North America.
Addressing health inequities
At the same time we are examining our own programs
and services with a health equity lens. In one such
case we have worked with our partners to modify the
way we provide car seat safety checks to make them
more available to parents who have difficulty accessing

Measuring performance
Strategic Plan
Balanced Scorecard
The health unit’s balanced scorecard measures progress of the
agency’s strategic plan.
The scorecard clusters indicators from its strategic initiatives into four quadrants,
giving a simple, colour-coded picture of movement forward on agency priorities, and
2014
where energies are needed to address challenges.
The 2014 scorecard demonstrates positive results in our efforts to engage the
community and work in partnership on priority public health issues and initiatives,
including the social determinants of health, infection prevention and control and
business continuity planning. While our long term goal is to improve health status,
changes to these measures are more gradual and cannot be attributed to the actions
of a single agency.
Being accountable to our funders
The provincial government annually sets target levels of performance and Boards of Health are required to use
best efforts to achieve those targets.
In 2014, Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit reached full compliance with the provincial standard in four
areas, while making strong progress in five others.
Examples of reaching or exceeding our targets include: 100% of refrigerators storing publicly funded vaccine
that are located in health care providers offices received a cold chain inspection; nearly 100 per cent of local
tobacco vendors in compliance with youth access legislation, exceeding the provinces minimum of 90 per
cent; and exceeding the target in the percentage of moderate-risk food premises inspected at the required
half-year intervals.
In three areas there was a drop in performance from the previous year due to resourcing and capacity issues.
A plan of action has been developed to address performance shortfalls in an effort to ensure continuous
quality improvement.
More information about our accountability and performance measures can be found at
www.smdhu.org/Accountability.

Where crowds gather, health risks
increase
The most likely risks associated with mass gatherings are health hazards such as food
poisoning, infectious disease outbreaks, substance abuse, dehydration and weather
emergencies.
The health unit has a solid track record in planning and preparing for mass
gatherings. The G8/G20 Summit in 2010, last years International
Plowing Match and the 2015 Pan Am Games are examples of
large events taking place in our area. For all mass gatherings
we develop our plans in conjunction with municipal,
provincial and other partners to prevent and
address potential illness and injury with the
crowds attending such events.
Health unit activities for large-attendance events include inspecting for food safety
and safe drinking water; enforcing tobacco legislation; monitoring for health impacts of
extreme heat or poor air quality; communicating risks and educating the public and event
organizers about injury prevention, substance abuse and infection control; and responding in the
event of emergencies such as disease outbreaks or heat alerts.

Board Chair message
Health can be improvedor impededby community design, government
policy, and economic and environmental factors. Over the last year, I have
been delighted at the Simcoe Muskoka Board of Healths level of activity on all
innovative thinking into reality.
Elections at the provincial and municipal levels created an opportunity to press for future
decision-making with the well-being of the public in mind. The board of health endorsed a
widely distributed election primer that brought broad concepts of affordable housing, pedestrian
friendly streets, food security and other issues to the attention of election candidates.
A report in January 2014, revealed that local low-income families struggle to afford healthy
foods. The board joined a province-wide call for the Ontario government to increase social
assistance benefits and raise the minimum wage to bring nutritious food choices within reach.
Throughout 2014, the health unit challenged new rules that relax the sale of alcohol. The board
of health communicated to all municipalities in Simcoe and Muskoka about the risks of selling
wine at farmers markets. The debate continued into this year when the province allowed sales
of beer in grocery stores. We continue to contend that making alcohol more accessible will
increase consumption, resulting in more chronic illness, injuries, and disruption of home life.
At times our role has been to advocate for improved funding. The Healthy Babies Healthy
Children program has been stretched for many years with dwindling resources. The board
of health renewed a call to the province for strengthened financial support for this widely
praised service. The board also led a call to maintain financial support for families in need of
dental service, in keeping with Ontarios Public Health Standards. This was in response to
policy changes that will exclude some families from funding for preventive dental care for their
children.
The board of healths vigorous work last year has carried into the new board in 2015. Roughly
half the boards membership consists of new faces. We have lost some valuable members, but
the new governing body comprises an ideal mix of experience, complementary skills and fresh
thinking. Even in its infancy, this board has shown it is eager to take up the cause of public
health.
