Local Vaccine Status Report

As of October 2023, we no longer produce a vaccine status report. Important vaccine information will be provided through public media release. Immunization information can also be found here: Immunization

Public Health Assessment and Surveillance Reports

The Health Unit produces reports that provide information on the health status of residents of Leeds, Grenville and Lanark. The information in these reports is provided so that the public, community partners, and health care providers are aware of relevant and current population health information.

Household and Individual Food Insecurity

This Snapshot captures household food insecurity rates, reported by year for 34 Public Health Units in Ontario for the years 2019 to 2023. These estimates are based on the Canadian Income Survey (CIS). Specific indicators include food insecure and secure households as well as food insecure and secure individuals.

Southeast Public Health Respiratory Surveillance Report

The Southeast Public Health Respiratory Surveillance Dashboard is produced weekly, and posted on our website on Tuesdays (with the exception of statutory holidays). The report shares the most recent week’s local COVID-19, Influenza and RSV activity throughout the respiratory season (October 1 to September 30 yearly) and provides an overview of circulating respiratory viruses in our region. The report is based on data collected for the previous week (Sunday to Saturday inclusive). Data collection and analysis is a dynamic process where week-over-week counts may vary due to subsequent lab confirmation, data cleaning or case false positives. Please interpret trends with caution. Supporting information may also be found at Public Health Ontario’s Ontario Respiratory Virus Tool.

Ontario Cancer Profiles

Ontario Cancer Profiles are a set of self-serve, interactive dashboards that provides instant access to recent, customizable statistics on several cancer burden, risk factor and screening indicators at different levels of geography for Ontario. The Ontario Cancer Profiles were created to give the public health community, health care providers, researchers and other stakeholders instant access to Ontario cancer surveillance, population health and screening data that can inform planning, design and delivery of local cancer prevention and control efforts.

Substance Use and Addictions Prevention

This collection of reports is the result of a 3 year Health Canada Substance Use and Addiction grant project awarded to the Health Unit in 2020. The objective of this project was to explore the experience of people who use substances accessing services such as health care, addictions and mental health services and social services in Leeds, Grenville and Lanark. The project also explored the experience of service providers in Leeds, Grenville and Lanark who are supporting people who use substances. The information presented in these reports will be used to shape a locally driven strategy aimed at reducing stigma and discrimination in Leeds, Grenville and Lanark.

2021 Demographic Dashboards

The following demographic dashboards are based on the 2021 Census of Canada. They present data for both the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville and Lanark County at both county (Census division) and municipality-level geography (Census sub-division). Where possible, counts, proportions and trends are presented. Additional Census-related dashboards will be added to this site as Statistics Canada releases the data. Viewing is best done in full screen mode by expanding the visualization using the full screen icon on the lower right hand side of the dashboard. Please contact the epidemiologist if you require further information at [email protected].

Public Health Snapshots

Snapshots are a collection of interactive map-based dashboards showing both geographic and temporal trends for indicators of chronic diseases, injuries, health behaviours, health equity, reproductive health, and substance use by public health unit and Ontario overall. Select Snapshots include other sub-provincial geographies where available. All Snapshots provide dynamically linked tables, graphs, and maps with pre-calculated statistics. Snapshots use Core Indicators developed by the Association of Public Health Epidemiologists in Ontario (APHEO), where available.

Substance Use and Harms Tool

The Substance Use and Harms Tool provides comprehensive epidemiological information on substance use and harms data in Ontario. It enables users to explore the most recent 10 years of data including emergency department visits, hospitalizations and deaths. Results can be viewed by public health unit, age, sex, and in some cases, drug type.

Shared Health Equity Dashboard (SHED)

The Shared Health Equity Dashboard (SHED) is collaboration project between three public health units in southeastern Ontario (LGLDHU, KFLA, and HPEPH). Its purpose is to allow users to interact with population health data to identify gaps in health between groups of people defined by certain social characteristics. The design of the dashboard is focused towards analysts and data-driven staff in public health units, other health agencies and community partners. The website has detailed technical documentation to help with dashboard use and data interpretation. Over time, additional morbidity and mortality-related indicators will be added to the SHED along with more equity stratification variables.

Infectious Disease Trends in Ontario

The Infectious Disease Trends in Ontario interactive tool provides 10 years of analyzed data on diseases of public health significance in Ontario. Data are collected by the public health units primarily from clinicians, laboratories and hospitals. This tool can help with surveillance, as well as inform program planning and policy. Search, customize and export information from interactive maps, graphs and tables according to your needs. You can also sort the data by public health unit or local health integration network (LHIN), as well as demographics.
