Peel Region’s Medical Officer of Health, who’s guided Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon through the pandemic, has a new job.

Effective September, Dr. Lawrence Loh becomes the executive director and CEO of the College of Family Physicians of Canada.

The college points to his track record spanning five government agencies at all three levels of government in two provinces.

Mayor Bonnie Crombie tweeted Mississauga will ”be forever grateful to Dr. Loh for his leadership and advice during a difficult and uncertain time.”

The Region of Peel also offered congratulations.

”While we will miss Dr. Loh, we’re wishing him all the best as he embarks on this new chapter.”
