History
In May 1967, the Department of Health announced that a number of province-wide initiatives would be established in order to ensure adequate public health standards througout Ontario. The Task Force on the Health Aspects of Accidents emerged from this movement. Chaired by Dr. E. W. R. Best, Director of Local Health Services Branch of the Department of Health, the Task Force's membership was drawn from throughout the Department of Health as well as other areas of the Ontario government, including the Departments of Labour and Transport.
The Task Force was dissolved in 1972.
