3. CONSULTANT UPDATE:
R. Johnston presented an overview of the recruiting strategy - copies provided to members of the
Committee (copies available by contacting Jennifer Cooke)
Most activity is to be focused on direct sourcing - i.e. going after and communicating directly with
candidates.
Less time will be focused on passive methods such as internet recruiting. This where information
wouid be posted on appropriate sites and hope potential candidates respond - spend less time
doing this. A posting is currently on www.medconnexions.com (Ontario Medical Association)
Postings will also appear in print media & journals - e.g. Canadian Family Physician; Family Practice
Physicians in South Africa
Question regarding PAIRO - will be covered in update reviewed later in the meeting (distributed at
meeting; copies are available) and is included under Internet recruitment and ROMP (Rural Ontario
Medical Program).
Question regarding strategizing long term versus short term - will this type of activity be covered in
the process? The answer is yes. Billboard advertising? Regional promotion of physician
opportunities in Clarington - partnering with Oshawa and other communities in the Region (PAlRO
tours - occurs in the fall)
Questions about international credentials - how much time is involved in getting the necessary
approvals? Consultants indicated that they have made contact with the necessary authorities and
Phy~ician Recruitment Committee Minutes
March 24, 2005
are awaiting their response (federal government, Ontario College of PhysiCians, OMA, CMA).
Question regarding a column in a recent Toronto Star which indicated that there was a pool of
physiCians/professionals from India/Pakistan. Are we looking there? Yes, and Australia and other
international locations.
Consultants are also looking to target international medical grads already in Canada but they are
unsure of the accuracy of the database.

4; BUSINESS ARISING:
3 subcommittees:
Incentives: What does our incentive package look like? Is it community or monetary weighted
package and where do the resources come from?
Communitv/Medical Profiles: Determine why doctors come to Clarington. What keeps you (resident
or doctor) in Clarington? Magic of C1arington?
Public Relations: If a doctor shows interest what does the tour look like? Key community/medical
people to meet? How do we handle new recruits?
Speaking opportunities - (media training) Sheila and Jennifer to Work on a communications
strategy to ensure that the message is clear and communicated consistently.
Committee members are to develop three ideas that they feel answer these questions.
Financial incentives are part of the decision but not necessarily the total decision. Incentive
packages can't be too tight. They have to be flexible enough to be customized for each individual
doctor. No two doctors want the same type of incentives.
Spouses of doctors playa large role in the relocation decision process.
Sense of community and activism a key draw for some doctors.
5. NEW BUSINESS
Tasks
Incentive - come back with a vision of potential incentives for new physicians
Community/Medical Profiles - develop package based on for example why Drs Stone and Jefferson
came to Clarington. What advantages does the existing medical community and the community
itself bring to the table? As a resident, what keeps you tied to Clarington.
Public Relations - what would be THE tour? Where and what?

Recruit the family, the MD will follow
Money isn't everything when it comes to getting, keeping doctors
By Kylie Taggart
NORTH BAY, ONT. - Apart from offering financial incentives, what should rural communities do to
attract physicians?
Physicians themselves suggest ensuring an easy transition during a locum or reSidency so
visitors have more time to fall in love with the community.
Library cards, directions to the nearest community centre, hours the swimming pool is open,
where the hiking trials are: This kind of information eases a physician into a community and makes
them want to stay, say Dr. James Truong and his wife, Dr. Sheryl Riley, family physicians who
practise emergency medicine.
Drs. Truong and Riley have settled here after using locums to shop around for a community
where they could best practise, and live.
After stints in Elliott Lake, Huntsville, Sudbury and other rural Ontario centres, North Bay won.
While the other communities were welcoming, Drs. Truong and Riley said North Bay did everything
right.
They said the chief of staff for North Bay General Hospital, Dr. Ian Cowan, and his administrative
assistant were superb.
"(They were always) calling us and saying: 'What else do you need?' " said Dr. Truong.
"The difference between a hospital I can work at and the hospital I want to work atis: I want to
work at the hospital where they're interested in having me there," Dr. Truong said.
Jack Burrows, mayor of North Bay, said the city's physician complement is "not in bad shape
right now." There's need for about four more general practitioners, another internist and another
pediatrician-and a radiologist will be needed when the new MRI machine arrives, '
. "We have been fortunate in that people who come up here like the city. They like the lifestyle,"
Burrows said.
"I think the hospital committee that does this does a good job of taking people around the city,
showing it to them, showing them all the assets we have here, the lifestyle and the sports,"
Burrows said.
Drs. Truong and Riley said new physicians also need help finding their way around the hospital.
They said many hospitals forget to do a clinical orientation, tell new physicians where to park or
inform them about the dictation service, leaving physicians struggling to get their practices in
order.
They also said housing is important. For communities with apartments for visiting students or
physicians, Drs. Truong and Riley said having home access to the Internet is important. Knowing
when the garbage is collected helps too.
Dr. Jill Konkin, president of the Society of Rural Physicians of Canada, said she chose to practise
in Jasper, Alta., for much the same reason Drs. Truong and Riley chose North Bay: "They made me
feel very welcome."
Dr. Konkin said she thinks choosing a community in which to practise is an extremely personal
thing.
"I don't know if there is a generic way of doing this, other than community members doing their
Physician Recruitment Committee Minutes
March 24, 2005
best to get to know new doctors very early on, finding out what they're interested in and putting
them in touch with people who have similar interests," she said.
This advice is included in a booklet put out by the rural physician group on how to welcome
medical students, residents and locums into the community.
"I think in the old days it was felt communities were not involved in recruiting. It was the doctors
who recruited. But now we've got such a significant doctor shortage, communities can make a
huge difference to not just recruiting but retaining doctors and health professionals," Dr. Konkin
said.
Dr. Tim Best, president of the Algoma West Academy of Medicine and a plastic surgeon practising
in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., moved there because of the cohesive medical community and diverse
practice opportunities. He had been an assistant professor of plastic surgery at the University of
Oklahoma in Oklahoma City.
When Dr. Best and his wife, general practitioner Dr. Marilyn Leahy, wanted to move back to
Ontario to be closer to family, they started by asking COlleagues where a good place to practise
might be.
Dr. Best wanted a community-based practice and Dr. Leahy wanted a good practice setting. They
also wanted a welcoming community in which to raise their three children.
"We wanted it to be outside a tertiary referral centre so we couid both practise the type of
medicine we wanted to and not have all interesting or complex cases siphoned off by the referral
centres," he said.
He has a private practice in Sault Ste. Marie and Dr. Leahy works at the Group Health Centre, for
which Dr. Best has nothing but praise.
"As far as we're concerned, after both practising in the U.S. and in Canada, the Group Health
Centre is probably the best place she's ever had an opportunity to practise in general practice," he
said.
While many communities are offering financial incentives to move to their community, "in most
cases it is not about money," Dr. Konkin said. What really draws people is a feeling of connection
and being appreciated by the community, she said.
"You can pay people a lot of money and they won't work harder than is reasonable for very long.
People wiil tend, once they become committed to the community, to provide a reasonable service
for that community, and are committed to staying in that community," she said.
Like Drs. Truong and Riley, many physicians seem to shop around during locums or residency
placements. Dr. Konkin went to Jasper on a locum and Dr. Leahy had already done a three-month
stint as a family practice resident in Sault Ste. Marie. Dr. Best had been in Thunder Bay for a
month as a fourth-year student.
While it is helpful if physicians have already been introduced to northern living, it is not essential.
"It helps very much in breaking down the potential misconceptions people in larger urban centres
might have about the North," Dr. Best said. He is now using his experience to help recruit
physicians to Sault Ste. Marie.
After approaching city council about recruitment strategies, Dr. Best became a member of a
physician recruitment committee of representatives from the community and the medical sector in
Sault Ste. Marie.
"The city has helped out tremendously by providing a financial base we can draw on, both for our
recruitment efforts and for incentives to recruits," he said.
The community needs about 20 to 30 more physicians-both general practitioners and
specialists.
The economic development corporation of the city has put together a paCkage detailing what the
city has to offer. Physicians visiting the city are taken around by members of "Team Docs"-people
from the community who tailor the activities to the interests of the physician and their family.
There is an emphasis on the family, because Sault Ste. Marie wants to keep the doctors it
recruits.
"We're looking at it so that we're recruiting the family and not just the individual," Dr. Best said.
"We're trying to look at it and say, 'We're not just recruiting them to a job. We're recruiting them
- 5 -

to relocate their life and therefore we have to look at everything: their educational needs, their
recreational, social and spiritual needs. All those things are important.' "
The concept of retaining physicians is just as important as recruiting physicians.
"It is not good enough to pull out the brass band and then abandon them once they're here," Dr.
Best said. "A more stable medical community is our goal," he said.
Maintaining a healthy medical community includes ensuring numerous CME opportunities,
including trips to tertiary centres.

Alberta invasion
Recruiter's trip to under serviced Northern Ontario causes stir
By Barbara Kermode-Scott
FORT McMURRAY, ALTA. - A recruitment drive in Northern Ontario by officials from Alberta may be
the opening salvo of an interprovincial hiring war.
Recruiters from the Northern Lights Health Region in Alberta toured Northern Ontario in late
February and early March. They were trying to entice health professionals, including physicians, to
communities in northern Alberta. The recruiters spent seven days seeking both new grads and
experienced health professionals in Sudbury, North Bay, Sault Ste. Marie and Thunder Bay. They
were offering recruits significant relocation assistance, attractive compensation and a team of
experienced professionals to help make the transition to Northern Alberta as smooth as pOSSible for
anyone interested in a transfer.
But Mary Jane Yorke, manager of Sault Ste. Marie's Physician Recruitment and Retention Program,
. questioned the morals of the Alberta recruiters given that Northern Ontario-like Northern
Alberta-is underserviced, suffering from severe doctor shortages and struggling to recruit doctors.
"To have someone from outside the province specifically target four communities in Northern
Ontario, I question their integrity in doing that," said Yorke. "We were very concerned that they
were coming through the Sault. It was very poor timing. We just lost a young anesthetist and not
even a year ago we lost a young internist."
Ontario currently has a very dissatisfied physician population, said Dr. Patricia Zehr, preSident of
the Algoma West Academy of Medicine (comprising physicians in Sault Ste. Marie and Algoma
District).
"On the one hand I can see why Alberta would come here because there are a lot of unhappy
doctors and they would be more likely to get them away, but to come to Northern Ontario, the
area of the province in the most desperate need of physicians, I think was unfair. You could even
question whether or not it was unethical to try to take doctors from communities that are barely
able to struggle on. . . .

~hysician Recruitment Committee Minutes
March 24, 2005
"To go through Northern Ontario, where we're struggling to keep our doctors and we're struggling
with our own government to try to maintain services, that was not a popular thing to do."
Job fairs
The Northern Lights Health Region includes Fort McMurray and five other northern communities.
The region is geographically Alberta's largest health authority, but it is home to only 2.2% of
Alberta's population. The health authority needs to fill 50 vacant positions for health-care workers,
including family physicians and specialists.
Northern Lights recruiters went to Northern Ontario to hold job fairs because they had received
many e-mails and phone calls from individuals there regarding employment in Northern Alberta,
said communications adviser Melissa Pennell.
"If doctors in Ontario aren't happy with what's happening to them there they can definitely apply
anywhere else if they meet the requirements," said Dr. Alan Nicholson, medical director and
medical officer of health for the Northern Lights Regional Health Authority.
"Primarily we weren't recruiting doctors. The team was down there looking for nurses who aren't
being looked after very well in Ontario at the current time. We didn't send anybody specifically for
physicians, but if there are people down there we have no trouble talking to anyone who would fit
our needs here."
Northern Alberta is an attractive area with many advantages, he added. "If people are
underemployed or are unhappy with the political situation where they are, they should feel free to
contact uS,"'said Dr. Nicholson.
Kicked when you're down
But North Bay's Mayor Vic Fedeli certainly wasn't impressed with the Northern Lights recruitment
campaign. "They've gone to an underserviced area, and it's like kicking someone when they are
down," he told the North Bay Nugget newspaper.
The Alberta government isn't currently recruiting in Northern Ontario, according to Alberta Health
and Wellness spokesman David Dear. Many physicians move to Alberta to enjoy the "Alberta
advantage," a higher fee schedule and low taxes. There are now almost 5,900 doctors in Alberta, a
. net gain of almost 800 over the past four years (the highest net gain of any province in Canada),
reported Dear.
Alberta's average incomes for both GPs and specialists are significantly higher than Ontario's,
according to the most recent Canadian Institute for Health Information data. CIHI's numbers show
that Alberta GPs billed an average of nearly $225,000 in fiscal 2002/03, while their Ontario
colleagues averaged almost $203,000. Alberta's specialists billed more than $312,000, $25,000
more than their Ontario colleagues, who averaged nearly $287,000.

3. Issues arising from the Minutes
There were no issues arising from the minutes.
4. Sub-Committee Updates
Technical
The Technical sub-committee met with Peter prior to the meeting to discuss options for
2005 Capital projects. An osprey platform, trail improvements, a decorative entrance to
the Lion's Memorial Forest, a shade structure at the bluff, and, budget permitting, various
plantings were agreed upon.
There would be no funds allocated to the bridge abutment erosion control due to the
standing commitment by the Ministry of Natural Resources to fund this work. The
Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority has been overseeing the design of the erosion
protection at the bridge and has run into some delays in the process. 'Peter will follow up
with GRCA for more information on their progress.
Communications
Joe brought in a draft of the winter edition of the newsletter. It was suggested that the
newsletter include an announcement about the upcoming Earth Day celebrations at
SWNA. Cathrine will look for a sponsor for the winter issue.
Thank you letters will be written to the past sponsors, The Kaitlin Group and Don Gleed
at Clarington Toyota, on behalf of the Committee.
There is also a new community newspaper called the OshawalWhitby/Clarington Blade
that the Committee could approach to publish an announcement about Earth Day.
5. Kaitlin Stormwater Pond
Kaitlin is preparing to build a stormwater pond to service the west side of the Port of
Newcastle subdivision. The pond will be located on the SWNA side of Toronto Street.
Initial designs show the pond immediately south of the trail; however, Peter has discussed
moving it south east with Leslie Benson, Manager of Transportation and Design, and
Kelvin Whalen of the Kaitlin Group. This would situate the pond closer to the Port of
Newcastle and closer to the lake, which could be to the advantage of both the SWNA and
Kaitlin. Peter will bring a revised design to the next meeting.
6. Committee Membership Update
Letters were sent to Ilse Kreimes and Duncan McCann by the Clerks department
informing them of their removal from the Committee.. Their positions are now being
advertised on the Municipality's website.
Letter to Veridian
Peter sent a letter to Veridian requesting help erecting the osprey platform, but has had no
response from Veridian. Because ofthe limited time to install, ifVeridian does not
respond by next week, Peter will try OPG.
7. Project Updates
Interoretive Signs
The Technical sub-committee reviewed the draft signs and found a few errors. It was
suggested that the 24" x 36" size was too large. Reducing the size by 1/3 may improve
the graphic resolution and would also reduce the cost.
No Dumping Signs
Joe brought in the graphics of these signs for the Committee to review. The signs will be
created by Media Sign. The cost for a 4 'x2' depends on the material used. Mounted to
aluminum would cost $144 each, and on plywood would cost $160 each.
The Committee reviewed the signs and decided on a minor wording change as well as
moving the SWNA logo to a more conspicuous location. It was also suggested that the
no dumping by-law number be quoted on the sign. Jennifer will get the by-law number
and forward it to Joe.
The signs could be placed north of either parking lot, given permission from Ron Baker,
Traffic Coordinator. Peter will follow up with Ron about location, as well as the size.
8. Other Business
Wilmot Fisheries Meeting
There is a Wilmot Fisheries meeting in Orono at the Orono Town Hall on January 18,
2005 at 7 pm.
DEAC Award Nomination
The deadline for nomination applications is the end of January. A letter of support from
a non-Committee member must accompany the application. The Committee made
various suggestions of who to approach to write a letter and, using these suggestions,
Peter will try to find a volunteer.
Article in Toronto Sun
Peter brought in copies of the November 17, 2004 article on SWNA, written by Harvey
Currell for the Toronto Sun, for each of the Committee members.
.
Bird Houses
Jim took 6 bird houses to his home to repair them. He will need cable ties to properly
reattach them to the poles. Also, more 'T' bars will be needed to move the houses from
the fence to the field because they are too close to the trail. Peter will contact Operations
about getting "T" bars for Earth Day 200S.
Karin noticed that there were mice residing in some of the houses and that a Great Grey
Owl was living in the area.
Durham Region Coastal Wetlands
Jim brought copies ofthe Wilmot Creek Marsh portion of the Durham Region Coastal
Wetlands study for the Committee members.
Nature Conservancv of Canada
Cathrine mentioned that the Nature Conservancy runs a program where people can
'purchase' an acre ofland. This money goes towards conserving the land. She suggested
that this might be a good fundraising program for the SWNA in the future.
Encroachments
Some of the Wilmot Creek backyards seem to be extending into SWNA land on the west
side. By-law enforcers will be out this summer specifically to monitor encroachments.
Jennifer will advise the by-law department about this problem area.

4. Issues Arising from the Minutes
No Dumping Signs
Joe brought in proofs of the signs as customized to suit the SWNA. The cost of the signs
will be approximately $150 each. Peter will look at where would be most appropriate
and effective to place the signs, as well as what size would be best. Joe will bring a full
size mock up of the signs to the next meeting.
Committee Membership Update
Council appointed one new member, Jim Russell, to the Committee. He will be
contacted and advised of the next meeting date.
5. Sub-Committee Updates
Communications
Joe brought a copy of the newsletter. He is still in need of Earth Day information, which
should be available after the next Committee meeting. The newsletters are planned to go
out in conjunction with the Earth Day invitations at the beginning of April. Joe
mentioned that he believes Cathrine is still looking for a sponsor for this edition.
Thank you letters were sent out to The Kaitlin Group and Toyota for their sponsorship of
the spring and fall issues ofthe newsletter.
6. Earth Day Planning
Earth Day celebrations will be held on Saturday April 23, 2005, starting at lOam.
Discussion of what events to hold took place. The unveiling of the interpretive signs and
a planting project will be two events. Other things could include a talk about frog
monitoring, a guest to do an animal demonstration and a scavenger hunt.
It was suggested that the planting proj ect could be designed to bring butterflies and song
birds into the area. David will research what plants would best suit this and where these
plants should go. He will bring his findings to the next meeting.
7. Project Updates
Interpretive Signs
Gary Page sent proofs at 2/3 the original size with the changes that were requested. Peter
mentioned that 2/3 may be too small, and that slightly larger may be ideal. The signs
should be complete and installed in time for Earth Day. Jennifer will include with the
minutes black and white copies of the final versions ofthe signs along with an aerial map
of possible locations.
Osprey Platform
Peter wrote a letter to Axel Starck of V eridian asking for assistance with this project. Mr.
Starck expressed interest in helping. Peter met with a field supervisor from Veridian to
.
discuss the installation of the platform in mid-February. Bowmanville High School's
wood shop class will be building the 4' x 4' platform and mounting it. This project is
expected to be complete for Earth Day.
8, Other Business
Kaitlin Pond Status
Peter met with Marshall Macklin Monaghan, Kaitlin's consultants, and they have no
problems shifting the pond south east from the original planned location. They are
working on revising the plans and Peter will bring them to the next meeting.
DEAC Nomination
The Newcastle Lions Club wrote a recommendation letter which was sent with the
nomination package. Allan explained how the awards night went last year.
CFWIP
The application was sent to the Ministry of Natural Resources, requesting funding for the
planting of mature trees in the Meadow area. Cam explained the selection process of this
program.
Bridge Erosion Proiect
The Committee is in need of a consistent GRCA representative to provide consultation so
that they can assist in the application to MNR. Cam has taken steps to explain the
urgency of the project to MNR and they are looking into the possibility of using surplus
funds. He explained that at the minimum they could fund the erosion control at the
bridge, but, ideally, they would like to identify and rectify the root problem.
Wilmot Fish Management Plan
The MNR held an open house in January which drew approximately 40-50 people. The
steering committee for this management plan is coordinating a Community Advisory
Council, comprised of representatives from various interest groups. They will be sending
an invitation to the SWNA Committee for a volunteer. The first meeting is planned for
April 5, 2005.
Funding Proiects
Peter will bring an updated list of the 'Nature Area Fundraising Projects' to the next
meeting.

Cathrine has been looking into sponsorship, and has a couple of significant leads. She

6. Earth Day Planning
Indian River Reptile Zoo
While it was discussed to have a mammal demonstration on Earth Day, research proved
that it would be too difficult to find an organization that would provide that type of
service. The Committee will look further into this for next year's Earth Day celebration.
Peter will book Indian River Reptile Zoo. They can bring snakes, turtles, and a small
alligator and have some interactive or hands-on exhibitions.

One of the signs on the Toronto Street side, east of the marsh, will be unveiled on Earth
Day. Discussion of the proposed locations of the signs took place. Peter asked that the

Peter gave a Power Point presentation of the platform installation. Students from
Courtice High School built the platform, while Veridian erected the poles and attached
the platform. The work took approximately 4 hours to do. The platform has been

Discussion took place about the expectations of each of the sub-committees. All sub-
committees should take minutes of the meetings and forward the notes to Jennifer to be

Peter suggested to the technical sub-committee that they go through the project list and

capital budget.
Special Events
The special events sub-committee could look at planning a public event for the fall. A

8.
Other~Business --- ----------------
Indian River Reptile Zoo
Indian River will be in attendance on Earth Day. They will do a reptile exhibition similar
to the one they did in 2003, but this year they will be bringing a baby alligator. If the
forecast calls forrain on the morning of the 23"\ volunteer Committee members will set
up a tent to shelter the demonstration.
Planting Proiects
Peter will change the CFWIP grant from the Lake Meadow to the Foster Meadow to suit
the focus of the Earth Day events. He will get a quote from Kobes Nurseries for the
plants needed for the Earth Day planting project. Karin volunteered to pick up the plants
on Friday or Saturday moming and deliver them to SWNA. Committee members were
asked to bring any shovels or spades that they can.
Pitch-In Dav
The Operations department will be going to SWNA to clean up the area where the main
events will be taking place. On Earth Day, there will be bags and gloves handed out to
the volunteers by the Operations department. Committee members may lead volunteers
through the trails.
7. Project Updates
Interpretive S i gnS
The bases to the signs were installed on April 12. The sigrts will be installed on April 21
in order avoid any potential darnage in advance of unveiling.
Illegal Dumping Signs
The "Illegal Dumping" signs have now been installed. They appear smaller than
originally expected, but they still serve their purpose.
Peter will check with the Operations department that the garbage cans were dropped off
to Bowmanville High School earlier this semester to be painted.
Garbage
In the Cobbledick parking lot, there are beer bottles that have been left. There is also an
exposed drain pipe. To the right of the worn walking path, there are a few loads of
garbage, as well as some foarn mattresses. Peter will notify Operations.
Birdhouses
Jim has returned the birdhouses to the field. Some are attached to trees and will need to
be relocated in the fall after the birds have left.
Lions Memorial Forest
The area between the Cobbledick parking lot and the Lovekin Memorial will be ploughed
in a few weeks to prepare for grading. The Newcastle Lions Club anticipates the first
phase of planting will occur in the fall.
Bridge Erosion Proiect
Greg emailed Peter with news that GRCA will prepare a bridge design, and that the
Aquafor Beech delays will not hold up the completion of the remedial works. There may
be a package ready for grant approval from MNR in time for tendering in the fall.

2005 Budget and Municipal Levy
Chair Ruth reviewed the process by which the budget had been developed. He noted that programming
pressures were significant and that the Board had worked since last June to develop a budget that met needs
and was financially responsible. Chair Ruth observed that all watershed municipalities except the Oty of
Kawartha Lakes supported the budget and municipal levy. He noted that if the City's position of 0% increase in
the levy were taken, upwards of $276,000 in programming might have to be dropped. He then called for a
motion on the budget as developed and circulated.
Discussion on the motion ensued. Vice-chair Viilemaire noted that due to the position of City Council she was
unable to vote in favour. The remaining Directors spoke of their support for the budget and levy.
