Canadian Institute of Public Health Inspectors -- 100th Anniversary -- L' Institut canadien des inspecteurs en santé publique 100 Years Canadian Institute of Public Health Inspectors of Distinction in Public Health 1913-2013 Canadian Institute of Public Health Inspectors -- 100th Anniversary -- L' Institut canadien des inspecteurs en santé publique 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. MOH and site inspection of sewage system, above.

David McKee with pilot of biplane. Some of 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. February 2013 Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday 3 4 5 6 8 9 During the National Health Conference in 1939, a meeting of fourteen sanitary inspectors was held at Toronto and a provisional provincial executive formed, with McKee as Acting Provincial Secretary.

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. This photo was taken at the Goliath Bay logging camp in 1924 during an investigation of a serious typhoid outbreak.

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.

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.

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. Thanks to those who made THE ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH REVIEW Possible (Editors in bold, followed by associate/contributing editors) 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.

Andrew Papadopoulos May 2013 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.

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 plaque from Winnipeg City Hall is now part of the CIPHI archives, Manitoba Branch. What is in a name? 1913 - April 19 - The Institute started in Winnipeg as the Sanitary Inspectors Association of Western Canada.

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.

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 consisted of: Miss E. Russell, Miss E. Wilson, A. Barclay, H.H.

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.

Prior to his appointment in 1974 as the first sitting Member on the BOC from Western Canada, L.E. was Corresponding Member from Alberta. In January 1978 he was elected Chairman of the BOC on its transfer from CPHA to CIPHI. In 1984 CPHA awarded L.E. with Honourary Life Membership. One of L.E.’s proudest moments was when he was presented the Queen’s Silver Jubilee Medal. Lewis Everard Stewart was awarded Life Membership in CIPHI in 1979. Lilli was a member of the CPHA, an Honourary Member of the Canadian Restaurant Association and received an award from the Academy of Chefs. In 1977, she was awarded the prestigious Canadian Silver Jubilee Medal by the Governor General of Canada in appreciation of worthy and devoted service rendered and the esteem in which their colleagues held them. Lilli died in 2004 after a two-year battle with cancer. In 1944 Arthur Conrad accepted employment with the government of Nova Scotia, and became the third sanitary inspector in the province. His career 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”. His area included three counties and dairy inspections often saw him starting work at 5:00 a.m. travelling by foot, bus, train, taxi and even hitch-hiked. In 1976 Arthur moved to Bridgewater as a supervisor with responsibilities for health inspection services in Lunenburg and 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 President for 12 years and Treasurer for five years.

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. See cover for photo of students. 100 % of your donation goes directly into environmental public health education and research projects www.ehfc.ca 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.

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.
