Albanese Elected Chair

Fort Frances councillor John Albanese has been returned as Chair of the Northwestern Health Unit.

Albanese, who has served in that capacity for the past six years, says he wanted to remain as chair as the Health Unit seeks accreditation.

"We're right in the midst of accreditation which will take place in April or May," says Albanese.

Albanese, a provincial appointee, says his election as chair also provides some continuity to the board in an election year for the municipal appointees.
