Description

The Public Health Appeal Board is a quasi-judicial board established to hear appeals from decisions made under the Public Health Act. The Board functions independent of government departments to ensure fairness and impartiality. (Most appeals submitted to the Board relate to an order issued under section 62 of the Public Health Act. The order is issued after an Executive Officer has inspected a private or public place and has probable grounds to believe that a nuisance exists or that there has been a contravention of the Act or its regulations.) The Board is required to make a report each year to the Minister summarizing generally its activities and affairs in the preceding year.
