I would like to know what members experience in managing these outbreaks has been with respect to intervening with residents on private property to address these threats. Is there a legal basis or precedence for doing this as a regulatory or enforcement measure or are their limits or constraints on this type of intervention? Have other strategies (e.g. outreach and education) proved more effective?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Microsoft Sans Serif",sans-serif;color:#002060'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Microsoft Sans Serif",sans-serif;color:#002060'>Many thanks,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Microsoft Sans Serif",sans-serif;color:#002060'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Microsoft Sans Serif",sans-serif;color:#002060'>Jeremy Gye</span></b><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Microsoft Sans Serif",sans-serif;color:#002060'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Microsoft Sans Serif",sans-serif;color:#002060'>Senior Consultant<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Microsoft Sans Serif",sans-serif;color:#002060'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060'><img width=193 height=35 style='width:2.0138in;height:.3611in' id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.jpg@01D83145.734907A0"></span><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Microsoft Sans Serif",sans-serif;color:#002060'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Microsoft Sans Serif",sans-serif;color:#002060'>C: (250) 883-4533<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Microsoft Sans Serif",sans-serif;color:#002060'>E: <a href="mailto:jgye@gyeandassociates.ca"><span style='color:#002060'>jgye@gyeandassociates.ca</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;color:red'><a href="http://www.gyeandassociates.ca/"><span style='color:red'>www</span><span style='color:black'>.gye</span><span style='color:red'>and</span><span style='color:black'>associates.</span><span style='color:red'>ca</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Microsoft Sans Serif",sans-serif;color:#002060'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;color:red'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
