The investigation began on April 24, 2018 following a complaint. On April 25, 2018, OPH directed the clinic to stop performing all minor surgical procedures until further notice. There is no ongoing risk to patients being treated at the clinic. At this time, OPH is not aware of any cases of infection associated with this infection prevention and control lapse. OPH, in collaboration with Public Health Ontario (https://www.publichealthontario.ca/en/Pages/default.aspx) and the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care (http://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/), determined that an estimated 4,600 patients who underwent some minor surgical procedures at this clinic between December 2003 and April 25, 2018 may have been exposed to improperly cleaned reusable medical equipment. Although the risk is low, as a precaution, OPH recommends that patients who received a minor surgical procedure of concern at the clinic between December 2003 and April 25, 2018 undergo testing for hepatitis B, hepatitis C and Human Immunodeficiency Virus, abbreviated as HIV. Today, the Main Street Family Medical http://www.ottawapublichealth.ca/Modules/News/index.aspx?newsId=9c072336-c413-4007-a5b4-c8e5ac436bd9 1/7 7/31/2018 News and Public Notices - Ottawa Public Health Centre is mailing letters to the estimated 4,600 affected clinic patients, which represents 5 percent of the estimated 90,000 patients seen at the clinic since 2003. Quotes “The protection of the public’s health is our top priority. As soon as Ottawa Public Health identified the infection prevention and control lapse at the Main Street Family Medical Centre, they acted immediately to ensure no ongoing risk to the public. OPH worked closely with Public Health Ontario and the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care to identify who was at risk from this infection prevention and control lapse and to notify those patients as soon as possible.” Councillor Shad Qadri, Chair of the Ottawa Board of Health (full statement below) “For some people in our community, this information may create concern. I want to assure residents that, at this time, Ottawa Public Health is not aware of any case of infection associated with this infection prevention and control lapse. Even though the risk of infection transmission is low, as a precaution, Ottawa Public Health recommends that patients who may have been exposed to improperly cleaned medical equipment at this clinic get tested for hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV.” Dr. Geneviève Cadieux, Associate Medical Officer of Health, Ottawa Public Health (full statement below) Procedures of concern are: Removal of a skin tag, mole, or cyst using a blade or scissors Skin biopsy Incision, drainage, or packing of an abscess or cyst Removal of an ingrown nail Sutures or staples, or their removal Foreign body removal Procedures that are not a cause for concern include: Injections (e.g., vaccines, vitamin B12, anti-inflammatories, steroids) Blood drawing Removal of a wart or skin lesion using liquid nitrogen (freezing) spray or swab Pap test, endometrial (uterus layer) biopsy Swabs (e.g., throat swabs, nose swabs, testing for sexually transmitted infections) The letter being mailed to affected patients explains that the patient may have had a minor surgical procedure involving improperly cleaned medical instruments at the http://www.ottawapublichealth.ca/Modules/News/index.aspx?newsId=9c072336-c413-4007-a5b4-c8e5ac436bd9 2/7 7/31/2018 News and Public Notices - Ottawa Public Health clinic and that OPH recommends that they be tested for hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV. The letter also includes a laboratory requisition that the patient can take directly to any laboratory to be tested, and provides alternatives for testing. OPH recommends that patients who are uncertain about having had a procedure at this clinic should speak to their primary health care provider about their risk and possible testing. OPH investigates clinics on a complaint basis and does not routinely inspect medical clinics’ infection prevention and control practices. Medical doctors are a self- regulated profession and are responsible for upholding infection prevention and control standards in their own practice. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (http://www.cpso.on.ca/) (CPSO), which regulates physician practice in Ontario, was notified of OPH’s investigation.

As Jason mentioned, I am joined Councillor Shad Qadri, Chair of the Board of Health and my colleague Sherry Beadle, Manager of Public Inspections. An infection prevention and control investigation by Ottawa Public Health has identified that some patients at the Main Street Family Medical Centre, located at 1251 Stittsville Main Street, may have been exposed to improperly cleaned medical equipment used for some minor surgical procedures. The investigation began on April 24, 2018 following a complaint. The next day, on April 25, Ottawa Public Health required the clinic to cease performing all minor surgical procedures until further notice. At this time, Ottawa Public Health is not aware of any case of infection associated with this clinic and there is no ongoing risk to patients being treated at the clinic. Une enquête de prévention et de contrôle des infections menée par Santé publique Ottawa a révélé que des patients de la clinique Main Street Family Medical Centre, située au 1251, rue Stittsville Main, pourraient avoir été exposés à du matériel médical insuffisamment nettoyé qui aurait été utilisé pour certaines interventions chirurgicales mineures. L’enquête a débuté le 24 avril 2018 à la suite d’une plainte. Le jour suivant, le 25 avril, Santé publique Ottawa a exigé que la clinique cesse d’effectuer toute intervention chirurgicale mineure jusqu’à nouvel ordre. Il n’y a aucun risque pour les http://www.ottawapublichealth.ca/Modules/News/index.aspx?newsId=9c072336-c413-4007-a5b4-c8e5ac436bd9 3/7 7/31/2018 News and Public Notices - Ottawa Public Health patients ayant été traités à la clinique après le 25 avril. À l’heure actuelle, Santé publique Ottawa n’a connaissance d’aucun cas d’infection en lien avec cette clinique. Ottawa Public Health, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, assesses that an estimated 4,600 patients who underwent a minor surgical procedure at this clinic between its opening in December 2003 and April 25, 2018 may have been exposed to improperly cleaned reusable medical equipment. Based on the specific deficiencies identified at the clinic, Public Health Ontario estimated a low risk of transmission of hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and, to a lesser extent, Human Immunodeficiency Virus, abbreviated as HIV. However, although the risk is low, as a precaution, Ottawa Public Health recommends that patients who received a minor surgical procedure of concern at the clinic between December 2003 and April 25, 2018 undergo testing for hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV. En vertu des manquements spécifiques notés à la clinique, Santé publique Ontario a estimé qu’il existe un faible risque de transmission de l’hépatite B, de l’hépatite C et, dans une moins grande mesure, du virus de l’immunodéficience humaine, abrégé « VIH ». Bien que le risque soit faible, par précaution, Santé publique Ottawa recommande que les patients qui ont subi une intervention chirurgicale mineure à la clinique entre son ouverture en décembre 2003 et le 25 avril 2018 effectuent un test de dépistage de l’hépatite B, de l’hépatite C et du VIH. Earlier today, the Main Street Family Medical Centre mailed letters to the estimated 4,600 patients who may have had a procedure of concern between December 2003 and April 25, 2018. It’s important to note that this represents about 5 percent of the estimated

  • Keeping You Informed
    Newsletter Date Councillor’s Newsletter June 9 , 2017 KEEPING YOU INFORMED Councillor’s View Dear Residents, On June 5th, I had the pleasure of attending the Light Rail Transit (LRT) Kanata Extension Environmental Assessment Open House. The event was well attended with over 100 participants from within the west-end communities and it was great to see residents so engaged and asking questions for such an important topic to the future of Stittsville. The meeting discussed potential options regarding the future of the LRT extension from Moodie to Palladium through Kanata and requested feedback from community members on their thoughts. A total of 13 potential corridors were identified, including locations north, south and central to Highway 417. All options are compatible with proposed extension of LRT to Moodie (Stage 2) and Page 2 Keeping You Informed each option presented Palladium as the ideal location for the western terminus. The high density development planned for this area makes Palladium an ideal location for the line to end despite the uncertainty of what will become of the Canadian Tire Centre. I would ideally like to see the rail continue one step further and see the line extended closer to Maple Grove to better serve the residents of Stittsville. The presentation outline and boards listing provide a complete overview of the considerations for all 13 options. I am pleased to report that Corridor 8 is the recommended option going forward as there are a number of benefits to this option: - It is centrally located along Highway 417 and provides a strong spine for bus transportation to compliment the system - Serves residents north and south of the highway and therefore provides good ridership potential - Minimal impact on residents leaving near the line - Utilizes existing park and rides (Eagleson, Terry Fox, and Palladium) - Has limited affect on the natural environment - Please see the Corridor 8 Board for more information on this plan.

EMC news - Voices from Goulbourn filled the city of Ottawa temporary council chambers at Ben Franklin Place on Wednesday, July 11. It was a time of excitement, joy and pride as a contingent from the Goulbourn Male Chorus, dressed in what is becoming the Chorus' trademark of white shirts and Ontario tartan ties, was on hand to sing the national anthem at the opening of the council meeting. "We stood tall and proud as our voices filled the meeting room with a heartfelt, resounding rendition of O Canada," recounts Goulbourn Male Chorus director Robert Dueck in describing the experience. "Our united voices allowed us to express our collective pride in being a Canadian citizen," he adds. "It appeared that this collective pride was shared with all who were in attendance." Mr. Dueck also notes that the singing was well received and appreciated. He also notes that the introduction of the group by city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri was much appreciated by the Chorus as was the opportunity to meet city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson.

  • Your Views - Draft City Budget 2016
    Your Views - Draft City Budget 2016 The City of Ottawa is facing a $41 M deficit. This could mean cuts to important city services that we all depend upon, and others that address the needs of the most vulnerable in our community. The annual property tax increase has shrunk every year since 2011 (2.45% to 1.75%). This has meant a tighter budget each year amidst rising costs and financial pressures. An increase of 1% is $36 per year on the average property tax bill and would give the City $14 M in revenue. What investment are you prepared to make to ensure quality of life in our city? In the coming weeks, City Councillors are inviting input to inform the draft budget to be released November 12th. Contact the Mayor and your City Councillor or attend a budget consultation (see below) to let them know what you want to see in the draft budget. Potential message: I would like to make an informed choice as to choosing between services and tax increases. In the draft budget, I would like to see options as to what services would be cut or maintained with a 2%, 3% or 4% tax increase. Will you take steps to ensure this happens?
