Talbot Resigns From Southwestern Public Board of Health

Tuesday, 19 January 2021 19:17

Sandra Talbot has resigned from her position on the Southwestern Public Board of Health at a special meeting this evening.

WOODSTOCK - Woodstock City and Oxford County councillor Sandra Talbot has resigned from her position the Southwestern Public Board of Health.

The board accepted her resignation at a special meeting this evening. Here is the complete statement from Southwestern Public Board of Health Chair Larry Martin:

"Today, Board of Health member Sandra Talbot wrote to the Board and notified us that she is resigning, effective immediately.

The Board has accepted her resignation. As stated last week, historically Ms. Talbot has been a valuable, engaged member of our Board of Health, fulfilling her responsibilities, and acting in the best interests of the public and community health. She acknowledges, however, that her recent decision to travel outside of the country betrayed the trust placed in her, in her role on the Board of Southwestern Public Health.

The vacant position on the Board of Health will be filled by appointment determined by Oxford County Council.

I also want to confirm at this time that there was no further international travel by any members of our Board of Health or our senior staff since the pandemic was declared.

Despite this change at the Board of Health level, Board and staff at Southwestern Public Health are steadfast in their work responding to the COVID-19 pandemic and planning for the roll out of the much anticipated COVID-19 vaccination to our community."

Heart FM has reached out to Councillor Talbot for a comment about her position on Woodstock City and Oxford County council and she has not responded. We will update this story as more information becomes available.
