Update -October 16 at 9pm: Full Locum Physician coverage now in effect for the Emergency Department

Physician Staffing Pressure Today October 16, 2026

We are experiencing a staffing shortage in our physician group for the Emergency Department (ED) today October 16, 2026.

As we work to get planned physician locum support in place, a local physician will balance their scheduled Primary Care responsibilities as well as the Emergency Department needs.

The Emergency Department is open; however, we ask that you visit the ED only if you have an emergency. Based on patient prioritization you may experience longer wait times.

If you are unsure whether you have an emergency, seek health-related advice by calling Health Connect Ontario (24/7) at 811.
We thank you for your understanding and continued cooperation.

Have you recently received a phone call or text message from our new automated reminder service? If so, it's working.

At the Wawa Family Health Team we are now utilizing a service that automatically calls and texts our clients to remind them of upcoming appointments.

With all new programs comes a period of change and some bugs to work out, but we are hopefully this will help all of our patients in the future. Please hang tight while we integrate this into our work.

Thank you!
