DISCUSSION

June 2022 Website Overview Current notable projects that the Communication’s department is actively working on include the promotion of the active tick surveillance program. A media event took place on Wednesday, May 11 at Ojibway Nature Centre and a subsequent news release was issued following the event.

We placed a Windsor Star advertisement informing the community that between May 23 and October 31, 2022, a mosquito larviciding program will be conducted to reduce mosquito populations in Windsor and Essex County.

The Communications department is maintaining marketing and communication efforts regarding COVID-19 vaccinations in the region with our partners. In particular, the COVID-19 pop up clinics in the community and at WECHU offices.
