At MBC and Camp Widjiitiwin, the safety and well-being of our campers, program participants and staff is a top priority. In that respect, we are closely monitoring information about the Novel H1N1 influenza virus (swine flu) from the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care (MOHTLC) and our local health unit.
We have been recently notified by the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit of outbreaks of H1N1 in summer camps in their jurisdiction and that outbreaks may continue to occur in other camps over the summer. We take this matter very serioiusly. Please download and read the following documents to learn about the safeguards designed and recommended by the MOHLTC that we are putting into place to protect our campers and staff.
