The provincial courthouse in L’Orignal continues to host a parade of Crown chief prosecutors from outside of Prescott-Russell to handle the local criminal cases until a new local prosecutor is appointed to replace Julie Bourgeois who was promoted to a judge’s post.

New health service plan on drawing board
A solid foundation of home and community care will highlight a new three-year plan for health services in the Champlain region. The Champlain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) board and staff are working

the summer break, Chantale LeClerc, LHIN chief executive officer, noted that the plan will “demonstrate the importance of a solid foundation of home and community care” for regional health programs. “When community-based services are strong,” LeClerc stated, “hospital and long- term care home beds are then available to people who need them the most.” Provincial healthministry guidelines for IHPs demand mandatory coverage of five areas in addition to any other local concerns. They are: a mental health and addictions strategy, health system funding reforms, home and community care, a Health Links system to aid people whomake themost use of health services and programs within the region and have the greatest need for them, and palliative care.

The goal is to have the draft plan ready to present to the public for comment next February.
