We minimize environmental health risks for the public.
Many of our programs are mandated in legislation by the Public Health Act. Programs include Environmental Health, Community Care Facilities Licensing and Tobacco Control.
If you have questions or issues related to environmental health, inspections or facility licensing, you can reach us using the health protection feedback form or through your local health protection office.
