Environmental Health
The Environmental Health Program is designed to protect the public by addressing issues such as food safety, drinking water quality, sanitation, pest control, contaminants and diseases in animals that can affect people such as rabies.
The Environmental Health Programs is carried out by certified Environmental Health Officers (EHOs) in each region. EHOs have authority to enforce the Public Health Act and regulations along with the Tobacco Control Act. They carry out inspections to ensure compliance.
The EHOs spend much of their time on:

- Drinking water quality and quantity
- Inspection of facilities such as schools, child care centers, recreational centers and swimming pools
- Rabies prevention
- Food and waterborne communicable disease investigations
- Tobacco retailer inspections
