We are promoting the arrival of the GO-VAXX bus for COVID-19 vaccinations in Leamington on May 2 and 3. This was a collaboration between the WECHU and the Municipality of Leamington through multiple media channels.

Food Handler Certification Examinations news release was issued on Tuesday, April 5.

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.

We continue to provide support for the Catch-Up Immunization Clinics for Students in Grades 7 to 12 that will occur until August in multiple locations throughout Windsor and Essex County.
