our inaugural Fellowship recipient. |

As Manager, Environmental Health and Infectious Diseases at the Timiskaming Health Unit, Cameron works on a variety of challenging public health initiatives impacting rural Ontario. Whether working with small drinking water system operators, farmers markets or participating in health equity conversations, Cameron embraces a practical community engagement approach.
Cameron used his Fellowship to attend the Effective Risk Communication: Theory, Tools and Practical Skills for Communicating About Risk course at the Harvard School of Public Health in May 2014.
The Fellowship expanded Cameron’s understanding of risk communications, strengthening his position as a key spokesperson for the Timiskaming Health Unit. Working in the smallest health unit in Ontario, Cameron is often called upon to advise the public on local issues or explain study results of a sensitive nature to the community.
SBC interviewed Cameron after he completed his Fellowship. Read Cameron's interview in the 2013/14 SBC Newsletter.
