Gonorrhea is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in Canada with rates on the rise. Locally, Grey Bruce has seen a more than 300% increase, from six cases in 2013 to 25 in 2014 and a similar pattern developing for 2015. With early diagnosis, it can be treated successfully.
The Grey Bruce Health Unit is working to provide information on STI's, their prevention, testing and treatment. This includes a campaign promoting the availability of urine-based testing for gonorrhea and Chlamydia; the Pee in a Cup campaign.
Public Health reminds the public to use safe sexual practices.

The foyer of the Georgian College's Marine Training Facility buzzed excitedly this morning with a $3.9 million funding announcement, shared equally by the provincial and federal governments. The funds to support the construction of a Marine Emergency Duties (MED) Training and Research Centre come almost a year after Grey County pledged $2 million to the project.

This stems from a meeting earlier this month among Ministry staff and MPP Lisa Thompson (Huron-Bruce), MPP Bill Walker (Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound), CEO and President of South Bruce Grey Health Services (SBGHS) Paul Rosebush, where the three fought to continue to deliver this vital program to the community.

The Minister deserves recognition for his support as do MPPs Lisa Thompson and Bill Walker who early on became champions for the program and who kept this issue at the forefront of the healthcare agenda. SBGHC is committed to working with our regional health stakeholders to develop a regional plan that will meet the interests and healthcare needs of so many people in Grey and Bruce Counties," said Rosebush.
"First of all I would like to thank the people who chose to make ..."
