As Canada’s newest top doc, Dr. Joss Reimer immediately had to confront two deadly global outbreaks

Dan Lett 13 minute read Yesterday at 3:57 PM CDT

OTTAWA — The whirlwind that has been Dr. Joss Reimer’s career has officially touched down in Building 62.

A modern, non-descript complex in a suburban industrial park, Building 62 is the only name given to the headquarters of the Public Health Agency of Canada, and Reimer’s new home as the country’s chief public health officer.

For the record, whirlwind is hardly an exaggeration.

Seven years ago, Reimer was a well-respected, somewhat low-key obstetrician and medical educator in Winnipeg. Along the way, she spent time as a YouTube public-health influencer, the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority’s medical director for public health, the provincial government’s medical officer of health and — in the role most familiar to Manitobans — the medical lead and official spokesperson for the provincial COVID-19 vaccine implementation task force.

RM says flood fight worsened by Bell MTS dead zone

Carol Sanders 5 minute read Wednesday, Jul. 8, 2026

Officials in St. Lazare had no option but to drive to more than 20 properties to warn people about impending flooding because there’s no cell service in the area in western Manitoba.

The 22 families who live north of the Qu’Appelle Bridge are isolated with absolutely no cell service, said Trish Huberdeau, the CAO of the Rural Municipality of Ellice-Archie, on Wednesday.

“We were able to physically drive out and talk to people before the floodwater came,” she said.

“The absence of dependable cellular coverage in our municipality is far more than an inconvenience — it is a significant public safety concern,” Huberdeau said.

Reporter’s contributions lauded

As an entity on ‘the other side of reporting’ — in my former role as vice-president of communications and marketing with the Winnipeg Foundation — our city has to know that working with recently retired Free Press reporter Kevin Rollason on stories about Winnipeg’s charitable community was an honour and a privilege.

At a time when philanthropy was not a mainstream story, the Free Press, through Kevin, shone a spotlight on the generosity of Winnipeggers in every corner of the city.

Kevin’s reporting in this arena was always generous, kind and accurate. We worked together for more than two decades — when opportunities presented themselves — to showcase the best of the city. As a reporter, he was always curious, kind and generous digging up the stories of Winnipeg’s best side.
