G.E. Duff Wilson fonds
Fonds · 1946-1969

The fonds consist of hand-written and typed records created by G.E. Duff Wilson, Medical Officer of Health for the Kitchener Department of Health. They include information regarding community health issues with a focus on prevention and education, the Stanley Leavine Building construction and opening, financial statements, and annual reports written by the Medical Officer of Health to the Kitchener Board of Health.

The annual reports are primarily those of the Kitchener Department of Health, however, there are some typed and hand-written annual reports (1961-1966) by Allan S. Taylor MD, Medical Officer of Health for the Waterloo County Health Unit. In 1968, Allan S. Taylor MD passed away prior to the amalgamation of the Kitchener Department of Health and Waterloo County Health Unit. It is probable that Wilson acquired Taylor’s reports following the amalgamation when he accepted the position of Medical Officer of Health, Waterloo County Health Unit that same year. The 1968 and 1969 annual reports for the Waterloo County Health Unit were written by G.E. Duff Wilson. The reports offer historical information on the continuity, change, and transition of health services in Kitchener and the County of Waterloo.

Fonds is comprised of the following series: Public Health diploma records Medical Officer of Health, Kitchener Department of Health records Annual reports Financial records Stanley Leavine Building records
