Christina Hunter

Candidate for District Councillor

In their own words

This candidate hasn’t listed a campaign website or social account with the Town. That says nothing about them as a candidate — it just means less of their material is published online for us to summarise.

Healthcare

Will there be a doctor and a hospital when we need one?

Christina Hunter wants local obstetrics, ALC beds in seniors homes, and a final plan addressing both before funding.

Supports obstetrics staying in South Muskoka; driving to Huntsville from remote areas equals driving to Barrie, too far for maternity care.
Says common services should stay at both hospitals to limit transfers, without duplicating specialized services.
Favors adding ALC beds in seniors care homes like the Pines, Alexander and Muskoka Shores to relieve hospital beds.
Before endorsing a plan with funding attached she needs a final plan addressing the ALC plan and obstetrics.

“As mentioned previously, driving to Huntsville for obstetrics for someone living in remote areas of South Muskoka would be the equivalent of driving to Barrie, which is too far for obstetrics care.”
