The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario Council Award

The College of Physicians and Surgeons (CPSO} is now accepting nominations

for the 2018 Council Award. The Council Award honours outstanding Ontario

physicians who have demonstrated excellence and embody a vision of the

((ideal physician".

The criteria for selecting a physician for the Council Award are outlined in the

enclosed brochure and nomination form. The criteria are based upon eight

((physician roles" that reflect society's expectations of what is needed to

practise modern medicine.

Through the award, the College honours Ontario physicians whose

performance in each of these roles is outstanding, recognizing that individual

physicians will demonstrate more extensive expertise in some roles than in

others.

If you know of a physician who meets the selection criteria, please nominate

him or her for the Council Award.

The deadline for receipt of nominations is October 2, 2017 at 5 p.m.

Rescheduling of the Gananoque Hydroplane Regatta

May 30, 2017 Town News

MONDAY MAY 29TH 2017, SALABERRY DE VALLEYFIELD – The Hydroplane Racing League (HRL) officially announces the rescheduling of the Gananoque Regatta that was originally scheduled for June 3rd. and 4th. Due to record breaking high water levels and the quantity of debris floating on the river it was decided this morning from the race site to push back the date of the event.

The racecourse conditions would have been dangerous and would have put the driver’s in danger as well as causing heavy damage to their hydroplanes.

Therefore the HRL commissioner and the organisers of this HRL championship event decided to push back the Ontario Hydroplane event to September 16th and 17th. This change will make this event the final one on the HRL calendar for the race teams.
