The Hastings and Prince Edward Counties Health Unit’s Board of Health held its first meeting of the new fiscal year on Wednesday morning. The first order of business was the appointment of a new Chair and Vice-Chair for the Board. Terry McGuigan (a Province of Ontario Appointee) was named Chair and JoAnne Albert, Mayor of the Municipality of Tweed, was appointed Vice-Chair. The Board welcomed five new board members. The other nine members of the board are all returning. The board received an update on the status of the new building showing that the construction costs still remain under budget. The Health Unit is planning to move into the new facility in early March, 2015, with an official opening ceremony being planned for September
