The King Edward Hotel in Sudbury used to quarantine
persons with smallpox in the older city of Sudbury 1901.
Certain entrepreneurs were investigated by the medical
officer of health at the time. These individuals would
operate a steaming process to kill smallpox germs in
front of the Old King Edward Hotel. Everyone coming into
Sudbury and staying at the hotel had to pass through this
steaming machine. Ladies complained that it made the
dye in their dresses run. There is still uncertainty if these
“stew pot George” steam machines, named after George
Hicks, quelled the epidemic.

Early Inspecting in
the Remote Areas
with David McKee

the remote areas were only accessible by
plane.
Born 1891 in Ireland, David McKee was a Sergeant Major in the Royal
Field Artillery in WWI and was awarded a military medal for bravery.
On his return to Canada, he joined the Toronto Health Department. By
1920 he was moving into the north country with his appointment as
Sanitary Inspector for North Bay. Shortly after that he moved to
Sudbury as Provincial Sanitary Inspector for the district which
extended as far west as Hornepayne on the CNR, White River on the
CPR and as far south as Bala.
Travel through the large area was a challenge. Communities were not
connected by the roads we take for granted today. McKee was not
adverse to trying new experiences and fortunately photos capture
some of those challenges as well as the enthusiasm that he and other
inspectors experienced in this part of the country.
At age 43 (1934) McKee was appointed Chief Sanitary Inspector with
jurisdiction over mines, lumber camps and unorganized districts in
Northern Ontario. The Sudbury office was closed and McKee’s headquarters was in Toronto with some of the work divided between
sanitary inspectors at North Bay and Sault Ste. Marie.
was the beginning of the Ontario Branch of the CISI. The committee was under the
chairmanship of H. McIntyre and A.R.San. I. Vice President for Ontario. McKee was
Vice-President of the Dominion Executive Council (DEC) during the years 1941 to
1942 and, in 1943 during the 10th AGM, he was elected National President of the
Canadian Institute of Sanitary Inspectors (CISI).
In 1946, President McKee noted in 1946 that the Branch Officers of British Columbia,
Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, and Bermuda, have been very active. McKee retired in
1958 and travelled extensively with his wife for the next 20 years. He died in 1982 at
90 years of age.

Early in 1917, a 65 foot power boat was procured by the B.C. Provincial Board of
Health enabling Sanitary Inspectors to visit the numerous canneries, logging camps
and communities along B.C.’s ‘6,000-mile’ coastline. The Patrol and Quarantine
vessel was named the SANITA (SANITAry). A Master Mariner, Captain De Gray, was
appointed Chief Sanitary Inspector for B.C. by the Provincial Board of Health. He
held the position until his retirement in 1940.

Milestones
1863 - Spurred on by the tragic consequences of a diphtheria
epidemic that had originated in 1859 in the Burin district and in
1860 had spread to St. John’s to claim nearly 1,000 lives (mainly
children), both government (Nfld & Lab) and the public were able
to overcome financial obstacles to establish a new and larger
water supply for the town for both fire protection and health
reasons, using Windsor Lake as a supply source.
1880 - Again, in 1880 the government (Nfld & Lab) passed the
Public Health (Amendment) Act regulating the inspection of
meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, bread, flour, butter and milk for sale
to the public. This inspection could be carried out by the Board of
Health, police constables and, in St. John’s, by the recently
appointed municipal sanitary supervisor and inspectors as well.
1902, Saskatchewan - In 1902, Cst. Gordon T. Howden of the
North West Mounted Police was appointed Sanitary Inspector for
enforcing quarantine orders. His first closing of a restaurant took
place that same year when a C.P.R. dining car was closed because
of a diphtheria outbreak.

Those Who Inspire
Norton G. Whitaker was not only a Sanitary Inspector for Pembroke, Ontario but he was also an
innovative man.
The Golden Garbage Can Award was Whitaker’s unique idea to help control flies and eliminate
health hazards in garbage by providing an award to the household that put out garbage in the
cleanest fashion. The winner was determined by the garbage collectors and prizes included a
golden garbage can, dinner with the mayor, travel in a Cadillac, with the Legion band playing
upon arrival at the Legion. The project became the envy of the
world. Fife, Scotland went to the point of expanding the contest to
have the prize go to the “best kept village”.
Whitaker also had a passion for eliminating and controlling
mosquitoes. He was cited in Popular Mechanics, October, 1961 for
his work on controlling mosquitoes. “He lured mosquitoes to their
deaths by enticing them to enter a fog of poisonous spray. The bait
was a recording of a female’s mating call. Whitaker got the call by
putting a male and female in a cage backed with speakers and
amplifiers, and amplifying the female’s sound.”
Whitaker was elected to the Ontario Branch Executive as a
Councilor and coordinated the in-service education programme.
A strategy was developed by the Dominion Executive Council of the
CISI, on the need for educational training grants on a national scale.
This was presented by Norm Whittaker to the Federal Minister of
Health and Welfare (1952). He was Chief Sanitary Inspector for
Pembroke when he retired.
Rita Manuel (nee Swakum) was the only female in the
first graduating class of 8 at BCIT in 1969. She was also
the first Aboriginal person to attend the Public Health
Program which was then known as “Public Health and
Pollution Control”.
She first worked for Health Canada as an
Environmental Health Officer from 1969 – 1971
leaving at that time to become a Community Health
Representative for several First Nation Communities in
the Merritt area. She rejoined Health Canada in 1995
staffing a new district office. From here she provided a
comprehensive public health program to more than
12 First Nations in Merritt, Lillooet and Fraser Canyon
areas. Rita was known for her passion for public health, and
dedication to her clients. She was affectionately known as
the “gentle giant” in resolving complex and contentious
issues with a quiet but persistent manner. Rita has come out
from retirement on several occasions to assist the
Environmental Health team in Kamloops on various projects.
Recent activities include her participation in Upper Nicola
Band committees such as promoting Sylix First Nation culture
and recreation to youth and the Health Advisory Committee.
Learning the Sylix language continues to be one of her many
goals.
Awde Street was named after Robert
Awde (1838-1921) who was a Health
Inspector and later Chief Health
Inspector for the City of Toronto. The
Toronto Historical Society has
preserved the name of the street with
a bronze plaque. You can find it on
the newly named Croatia Street.
Milestones
1961 - The Community Health Representative training program
of Indian and Northern Health Services was initiated at Norway
House, Manitoba. Students learned on how to take water
samples, build privies, organize garbage collection, choose
suitable sites for wells, and the knowledge of causes and possible
prevention of some diseases.
1962 - Public Health Inspection and Quarantine Services
were added to the Indian and Northern Health Services. The
organization was renamed “Medical Services Branch” (MSB). Two
MSB sanitarians covered all of Manitoba, NW Ontario and the
District of Keewatin in the NWT. 1967 - The first Aboriginal Environmental Health Officers (EHO) is
Bill Cameron, from Beardys Reserve at Duck Lake, Saskatchewan,
graduated from Ryerson in 1967 and worked in the Yukon and
Saskatchewan.
1978 - The Battlefords Indian Health Centre (BIHC) was the first
Health Service run by First Nations to provide Environmental
Health Services. Daniel Michaud was hired in 1985 and continues
to work with First Nations.
1980s - MSB starts transferring control of health services to First
Nations and Inuit communities. Some bands / tribal councils start
hiring their own EHO.
1995 - Keith Smith was the first (and only) aboriginal EHO that
was hired through the efforts of the Environmental Health
Foundation of Canada (EHFC). He graduated from BCIT and was
certified in 1995 and worked for Touchwood-Fils Hills-Qu’appelle
Tribal Council in Saskatchewan.
2000 - MSB changes its name to First Nations and Inuit Health
Branch and sheds all non-aboriginal health functions.

-- L' Institut canadien des inspecteurs en santé publique
It was always important for the Institute to have a journal dedicated to Canadian Public
Health Inspectors but it was not until November, 1951 that it became a reality. The earliest
newsletter in the archives is Volume 1 No. 5, 1956. B.V. Bedore and L.B. Killoran of the
Arnprior, Ontario Health Department edited this eight page
edition and the first article discussed the name of the
newsletter. Also covered was “Is Your Drinking Water Safe”,
by J.L. Hiebert CSI(C) and Rodent Control In The VictoriaEsquimalt Area” by Eldwood S. Gropp CSI(C). News
from the Provinces became a regular feature.
The Environmental Health Review continues to offer
timely informative papers on issues facing public
health inspectors today. It is now available in an
electronic format for its members.

The Health Inspector Man
There are times when I get weary of this day-in-day-out grind.
There are times when I’m disgusted and think I’ll lose my mind.
Then there are times when money’s scarce and these times
become more frequent.
My account’s overdrawn, my savings shrunk, and my bills are all delinquent.
Now I’ve a little girl named Sue. She’s about the age of eight.
She has a lot of playmates and in my yard they congregate.
The other day I overheard quite a lengthy conversation
On the merits of different fathers, primarily occupation.
There were bankers, welders, airplane drivers, doctors, lawyers, deep-sea divers.
Then silence fell as Sue began. “My dad’s a health inspector man.”
The other girls grew open-eyed and silent as a cat.
Then Sandra spoke the mind of all. “Just what in the world is that?”
“Well, without my dad you couldn’t eat a solitary bite,
Unless you took the chance of being very sick all night.

You couldn’t drink a glass of milk, or eat a piece of pie,

Cause if you did you might get sick, and maybe even die.
And you couldn’t go in swimming. Who’d see if the water was nice?
You couldn’t have an ice cream cone, or eat a piece of ice.
The streets and alleys would be a mess with garbage everywhere,
And things would be real smelly if my daddy wasn’t there.”
“Course I might be exaggerating. Things might not be that bad,
But they certainly could happen if it weren’t for men like my dad.
Oh, there’s lots and lots of other things my daddy has to do.
But it takes too long to tell them, so I’ve only named these few.”
I looked down at my shirt cuffs. There were frayed just like my collar.
I looked around at the furniture. It was worthless as a dollar.
Our car out in the driveway - it’s completely second-hand.
But I have my badge of honour. I’m a health inspector man.
For if our kids live longer in the world that we safeguard,
That’s worth more than money and will be enough reward.
So now I stand up straighter with my shoulders squared away.
My step is sure, my eyes are bright as I go out to face the day.
And if you really care to - step up and shake the hand
Of a guy that’s really proud to be a health inspector man.

Canadian Institute of Public Health Inspectors --
100th Anniversary
-- L' Institut canadien des inspecteurs en santé publique
Insignia of the Institute
Many fraternal, scholastic and service organizations have adopted the feudal system
of recognizing members by wearing an insignia. The Institute desired a lapel badge
and a letterhead. The choice was to use the Institute Seal.
The Executive of the original Institute (as recorded in the presentation In
the Beginning by Alex Cross) held a competition in 1932 for a design to be
used in applications for the Charter, as a seal. A competition for the
design for the Institute’s seal was won by Percy Pickering, an inspector
in Winnipeg, Manitoba as well as a talented artist. He painted a
circular insignia with the idea of a seal in mind. It included a rod or
pillar entwined by a snake with a maple leaf at the base, and the
name between the two outer circles. He won the contest and the
prize ($5.00 or some nominal amount) and his entry is still in use
today with minor changes. It was unveiled at the January 3, 1934
inaugural meeting of CISI. It was later nicknamed the “Polar Bear
Crest” by some due to the shape of the Maple Leaf.
The Institute provided members with a lapel badge using the Seal.
The original badges were three-quarters of an inch in diameter, but in
1962, R. Cadieux of Montreal obtained a smaller die and the one-half
inch diameter button of today was issued. The original badge had a blue
background. Later the Branch Officers were issued with red backgrounds,
and later still, the National President was issued with a gold badge. In 1968,
N. Helfrick produced a cloth crest for blazers with metal needlework.
Blazers, with the crest on the upper left pocket, were presented
to the Presidents .
Gene Hartman carved the insignia, pictured
below, and presented it to the Institute in 1978.
The semicircle with maple leaf logo
was adopted in the 1980s by National
CIPHI and became the standard for all
the Branches in 2003/4. Prior to the
standardization, some of the
Branches had
their own
logos.
The dedication

is now part of the

Alex Cross immigrated to Winnipeg from Scotland at the age of 19, and became a
District Inspector with the provincial Health Department after completing the
Certificate of the Royal Sanitary Institute in 1930. Alex’s
career included four years in the Royal Canadian Army
Corps and a total of 38 years with the Winnipeg Health
Department, retiring as Assistant Chief in 1969.
Alex was an energetic member of the newly formed
Institute that was eagerly seeking incorporation; he became
a charter member of the Institute and remained a member
of the Dominion Council for many years. He was president
of the Manitoba Branch in 1937, Secretary of the Branch in
1947 and President of the Branch again in 1948. In 1957 at
the annual conference in Vancouver he was made a
Life Member of the Institute. To honour his contribution,
The Alex Cross Award was created in 1984 and presented annually to a member
who has displayed “The highest standard of professional practice in the field of
environmental health in Canada”
Arthur Dicaire of Lachine, Quebec became the first person
in Canada to receive the Certificate in Sanitary Inspection
(Canada), CSI(C) in 1935. Arthur was born in Coteau du Lac,
Quebec in 1886. His career in health started with the
Lachine Hygiene Department in 1914. Arthur obtained
official qualifications in Milk Testing and Plumbing and
received certification as a Sanitary Inspector from the Royal
Sanitary Institute, UK.. Mr. Dicaire was recognized for his
work by the physicians with both Montreal and McGill
Universities, as well as the Provincial Hygiene Service and
the cities of Quebec and Lachine.
June Lawson was the first woman in Canada to
receive the Certificate in Sanitary Inspection
(Canada). Miss Lawson was born in Scotland in 1907
and moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba. Miss Lawson
attended Success Business College and graduated
in 1930. She was the Clerk for the Winnipeg Health
Department Food and Dairy Division as well as the
Sanitation and Housing Division before training to
become a Sanitary Inspector in 1942.
Major Alexander Stuart O’Hara (1905-1980) was born in Ballymena,
Ireland in 1905. He attended Queen’s University, Belfast and in 1930
O’Hara received his Sanitary Inspector’s Certificate, and started work
with the Ontario Department of Health. His duties also included those
of an “ex officio” medical officer of health in the unorganized territory
of N.W. Ontario, an area of about 175,000 sq. miles. Working from Sioux
Lookout, there were few roads and O’Hara travelled 25 miles per day by
snowshoe or dog-team and by canoe or boat in open weather. He was
one of the first inspectors to utilize aircraft.
In 1933 O’Hara was the first to be awarded the Advanced Diploma in
Canada, qualifying for Membership by the Royal Sanitary Institute. It
would be the equivalent to receiving the Certificate of Environmental
Health Administration from Ryerson in the 1960s.
Ernest Hague, Chief Health Inspector for the Winnipeg
Health Department, was the first President of the Sanitary
Inspectors Association of Western Canada in 1913. He was
reelected President of the Sanitary Inspectors Association
of Canada between the years of 1922-32. His executive

Canadian Institute of Public Health Inspectors --
100th Anniversary
Margaret Isobel Whelan (nee Conn) was the first qualified female Sanitary
Inspector (SI) in Ontario and the tenth in Canada.
Margaret was born in Buffalo, New York, 1919. Her father, Dr. Thomas Conn,
died before she was born and her mother brought her back to Toronto to
continue her own profession in nursing. Marg
worked at Connaught Medical Research
Laboratories for ten years doing technical work
on antibiotic and immunization research. As a
result of her work in the lab Margaret met many
CPHA professionals, which aroused within her a
profound interest in pursuing a career as a SI.
Completing her studies, cum laude, and obtaining her Certificate in Sanitary Inspection (Canada)
(CSI (C)) under the CPHA, she was excited to put
her experience and knowledge in bacteriology to
practical use in field work.
They Enjoyed the Challenges
Len Hiebert was born in 1923 in Winkler,
Manitoba, raised in Alberta, and moved to
Ontario where he joined the Royal Canadian
Air Force during WWII. In 1945 Len received his
Certificate in Sanitary Inspection (Canada) and
started a long and dedicated career in public
health, first in Ontario and then in British
Columbia. His key contribution to CIPHI was
as the editor of “The Canadian Sanitarian”
which he renamed the ”Environmental Health
Review”. During his seven years as editor, he
switched to a full sized page, added more
photos, and more technical articles. Len
became a one-man army handling the
preparation, paste-up, advertising, and
mail-out himself. Following his term as editor of the EHR, Len was appointed
Editor of the B.C. Branch newsletter, the “B.C. Page”, for a further nine years.
Len Hiebert was well recognized for his contribution to the public health
inspection profession and his community: awarded the Member of the Year
Award by the B.C. Branch in 1984, CIPHI; received the Order of St. John from
the Lieutenant Governor of B.C. in 1988; awarded Life Membership in CIPHI
for an outstanding lifetime of contribution to public health and CIPHI in 1990;
received a recognition plaque from CIPHI for over 50 years of membership in
2001.
L.E. served a term as Alberta Branch President in 1950 and was a
member of the CPHA including a term as President of APHA. Prior to
his appointment in 1974 as the first sitting Member on the BOC from

with the Department of Health would span 37 years. Arthur was born in the
town of Pictou, Nova Scotia. After graduating from Pictou Academy in 1940,
Arthur accepted the Provincial Sanitary Inspector position where his “salary
was $100 a month plus expenses”.

Queens Counties, remaining there until his
retirement as Senior Inspector in the
Atlantic provinces, in 1980.
Arthur is a member of CPHA and a CIPHI
member since 1958. He was Atlantic Branch

Lewis Everard Stewart was born in
1912 in Medicine Hat. His career in
public health began when he was
appointed Company Sanitary N.C.O.
of the Loyal Edmonton Regiment
in July 1940. After retiring from the
Army, L.E. obtained his C.S.I.(C) in
1946, joined the Alberta Department
of Public Health, and was promoted

Lilli Ann Zahara graduated with Honours from Ryerson Polytechnical Institute
in 1967. She started her career in Ontario, but her love for the west brought
her back to Alberta in 1970. Lilli worked for several years as a PHI before
specializing in Health Education. In 1976 Lilli accepted the additional position
of Executive Secretary-Treasurer for the Canadian Institute of Public Health
Inspectors (CIPHI) and held this challenging position until 1982. She left the
Calgary Board of Health to become a consultant in Environmental Health and
was subsequently appointed to sit as a member of the Board of Health by
Mayor Ralph Klein.
The CIPHI and the Environmental Health
Foundation of Canada sponsor the Lilli Ann

Public Health Week
CIPHI uses national Environmental Public Health Week to salute Public Health
Inspectors/Environmental Health Offices and the work they do. In 2010 the message
took a different tactic and pointed out the following: “in today’s complex and
border-less world Public Health Inspectors across Canada ask you to take a simple yet
bold hygienic approach to life. Start with the basics ...Wash your hands.”
Environmental Public Health Week is celebrated during the fourth week of September.

The Environmental Health Foundation of Canada
A Spontaneous
Fund Raising Event
The Leg Waxing Challenge of President Adam
Grant, at the annual CIPHI conference in
Kananaskis, Alberta raised $5000. The EHFC
used the funds to provide student
registration for 50 students from three
environmental health schools to attend the
joint International Federation of Environmental
Health / Canadian Institute of Public Health
Inspectors Conference in Vancouver in 2010.

The Environmental Health Foundation of
Canada (EHFC) was created with the support of
the membership of (CIPHI). In a resolution
approved at the 1984 AGM of the Institute, the
members concluded they should play an
important role in supporting, encouraging and
promoting projects and initiatives in the field
of environmental health. Results could best be
achieved through the creation of a non-profit
charitable foundation operating as an autonomous division of CIPHI.
In 1985, the amendments to the Letters
Patent, Constitution and By-Laws were
approved at the Annual General Meeting. In
1991, The Environmental Health Foundation
of Canada became a Registered Charity.
EHFC PROJECTS
2011 - The EHFC donated $2,000 to the CIPHI Ontario Branch Sierra Leone school well project in
Africa through the Ed Fleming Memorial Fund. This fund offers financial support for projects
encouraging safe water for consumers in Canada and internationally through education and aid.
2012 - WaterCan Project - CleanWater for Health Program - The EHFC is a founding funder. The
overall goal of the project is to “improve the quality of life of impoverished people by providing
essential services of water and sanitation at two health centers in Wakiso District, Uganda.”
2012-Nicaragua “Clinica Verde” is a model of care for families in need – a global prototype of an
environmentally sustainable health clinic in Nicaragua for women and children living in poverty.

For many years CIPHI has managed the certification process, an important first
step supporting individuals entering the field. With the vision of maintaining
a national standard for all holders of the CPHI (C) and increasing recognition
of the profession, CIPHI initiated the Continuing Professional Competencies
(CPC) Program (2010). This program encourages Environmental Public Health
Professionals (EPHPs) to engage in ongoing development of knowledge and
practice.
Council of Professional Experience
The Council of Professional Experience (CoPE) is the body that
administers, monitors, and regulates the CPC Program. It fosters
accountability in EPHPs. CoPE shall:
● Provide structure and leadership for the CPC Program and system
Safe Tem
● Maintain records of all holders of the CPHI(C) credential
● Review the conduct of individual CPHI(C) holders to maintain their
credentials, where necessary

1935 - In June the Canadian Public Health Association announced
examinations for the certificates C.S.I.(C) will be arranged later in

was established by CPHA with a sub-committee to be known as the
Central Board of Registration and Examination created to develop
a syllabus and provide recommendations concerning education,
registration and the conducting of examinations.

100th Anniversary
100 Years of Distinction
in Public Health 1913-2013
Canadian Institute of Public Health Inspectors --
This calendar commemorates the Centenary (100
years) of the Canadian Institute of Public Health
Inspectors. But this is no ordinary calendar. It is a
historical document, albeit just a snapshot of our
organization. It shows public health inspectors who
moved our organization forward in the quest to be
recognized as a profession, to provide education,
and to maintain competent and ethical practice.
We learned quite quickly that this format limits the
amount of prose and graphics we could use. We
received more information than could be included
and still remain a calendar. We sincerely thank all
those who provided that information. Without our
existing historical documents, such as “In the Beginning” by Alex Cross and “Up the Years” by Thomas
Elliott, it would have been a greater challenge to
piece together how our organization grew over the
last 100 years.
-- L' Institut canadien des inspecteurs en santé publique
This calendar reflects our profession and those
who have advanced it to what we are now. It can
be used as a therapeutic document as well. When
you have had a bad day turn to the month of May
and read the “Health Inspector Man” and when you
need inspiration turn to July and August. Or better
yet, turn to April to read about the Golden Garbage
Can Award. We have been so fortunate to have
these people in our organization and we continue
to attract thoughtful, hard working members.
information’ this calendar would not be what it
is. It cannot be stressed enough that everyone
should think twice before discarding documents
and photographs relating to our profession. If you
need to discard and cannot forward the material to
your Branch Historian then consider contacting the
national CIPHI Historian. It is this information that
helps put together the historical puzzle of our
professional organization, the Canadian Institute of
Public Health Inspectors.
We also featured the schools, Branches, and the
many arms of CIPHI which includes the
Environmental Health Foundation. (Include our
Foundation in your list of charities when making
donations.)
Our sincere gratitude is extended to Tim Roark,
for without his access to CIPHI’s ‘vault of Acknowledgments
We had information sent to us but were unable to use it for the calendar
due to space restrictions. However, it will be retained for future use. The
following people contributed to the production of this calendar, either
with photographs, or obtaining or compiling the information found in
each month. We gratefully acknowledge their help, interest and time:

Every publication, prior to printing, needs to be reviewed and the contents proofread for spelling, grammar
and accuracy. This calendar would not be what it is without Tim Roark, Ron de Burger, Peter Heywood and
Rhea Hamilton Seeger for their review and critique. Unfortunately, some gremlins still sneak in or were
hiding from our eagle eyes. In that event, we apologize in advance.
