Need for H1N1 Vaccine Overloading Health Care Workers
-
Local hospitals, clinics and doctors offices are being deluged with thousands of people trying to get the flu vaccine. And the exploding demand for shots is taking its toll on already stressed health care workers. Some services are being scaled back so hospital and clinic staff can meet the demand for vaccinations.

- In a bid to prevent the H1N1 virus from spreading among people who are vulnerable, local hospitals are restricting patient visits. Most local hospitals are now limiting visiting hours, numbers of visitors, and prohibiting visits from anyone younger than 18 years old.
Honouring Veterans
- Remembrance Day is coming up, and local veterans in Orillia were given a special honour today. The honours spanned generations and wars, from WWII, to the current Afghan conflict.

The residential development on the town's waterfront has won an important environmental award, recognizing its "green" building practices. The first residents have begun moving in.
