Centralized information for health services

Create a webpage or app which would act as a centralized source of health care information in the city. some clinics have wait times posted online, but this could be made available for all clinics and the ER. Traffic data could be utilized from online mapping services to estimate how long it would take someone to drive to, and wait to see a doctor; in many cases, this would not be the closest clinic, or the one the person usually goes to. This would hopefully spread the patient load more evenly between clinics - easing the burned on the busiest centers. It would also allow patients to access clinics that they may not have been aware of.

I have a presentation of a New Age Vision of Sudbury.

The presentation envisions a totally new concept in development of a plan to address many of the existing concerns and maps out a route forward to bring Sudbury into the twenty first century ready for the twenty second by creating a number of hubs within the City as a major hub.

Cultural Kiosk in Shopping Mall or Visitor Centre

A kiosk outlining what’s on in greater Sudbury giving an overview of the event, when and where, and the ability to purchase tickets to the event online from the kiosk. Great for tourists looking for activities while visiting or for the convenience of our own citizens.

Active 911

Active911 is a digital messaging system that delivers alarms, maps, and other critical information instantly to first responders. Active911 also allows response efforts to be monitored in real time. This is a valuable tool that will immensely improve our current notification system for the volunteer fire fighter's response to emergencies.
