ACTIVITIES At the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit (WECHU), I had the experience of mentoring a Student Public Health Inspector, guiding them in their successful completion of the Board of Certification (BOC) exam in October 2017. I ensured the student received on-boarding including the review of policies and procedures, the use of inspection software and equipment, and shadowing experience prior to conducting their own independent inspections. I oversaw the student’s achievement of deadlines, and organized two mock BOC oral examinations. I regularly communicated with management on the student’s progress.   In a town hall hosted by the Township of Pelee Island in southwestern Ontario, and in collaboration with the Ministry of the Environment, I presented safety information to the residents of Pelee Island on the topic of blue-green algae and algal toxins in both SDWS and recreational beach water in 2016. Anticipating an algal bloom to occur in late summer, we encouraged residents to sample their water during the bloom so that the WECHU may trial an algal toxin test strip kit and analyze the results.   I had the privilege of co-presenting at the Annual 2017 CIPHI Ontario Conference in Peel Region on my experiences with respect to the topic of SDWS and Blue-Green Algae in the western basin of Lake Erie. I had the opportunity to collaborate on the presentation with a former colleague and, in addition, learn from and network with other public health professionals.   As the Lead of the WECHU’s Environmental Health Department’s Recreational Water Committee from 2017-2018, I worked with team members to develop and execute the committee work-plan, and review policies and standard operating procedures.
