Bill S-211 Reporting and Attestation

The Canadian Parliament passed Bill S-211 or Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act on May 3, 2023, to protect vulnerable populations from human rights abuses and exploitation. The bill, which came into force on January 1, 2024, affects organizations that produce, sell or distribute goods in Canada or elsewhere, import goods produced outside of Canada into the country, or that control an entity engaged in either of the above activities.

Every entity that meets the criteria set out above must submit an annual report, on or before May 31 of each year, to the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness (Minister). This report must indicate what steps the entity took during the previous financial year to prevent and reduce the risk that forced labour or child labour is used at any step in the production of goods made by the entity or imported into Canada by the entity.

Energy Reporting

The Ontario Green Energy Act requires all public agencies, including hospitals, to make public their annual energy consumption and resulting greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, each organization must share an energy conservation and demand management plan outlining how the organization will reduce energy consumption.

The KDH Energy Conservation and Demand Energy Management Plan fulfills the reporting requirements of the Green Energy Act and provides a framework to support energy and sustainability initiatives at KDH. The Plan addresses energy consumption in the hospital, including the development of a greenhouse gas emissions inventory, benchmarking KDH’s existing energy intensity performance relative to other hospitals, identifying potential energy efficiency projects, and establishing a greenhouse gas emissions reduction target.

Executive Accountability

Compliance Attestation

Our Chief Executive Officer makes an annual Attestation to the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 15 of the Broader Public Sector Accountability Act, 2010 (BPSAA).

Executives’ Contracts

Appropriate compensation is a key element in attracting and retaining the kind of leaders we need at KDH. Our executive compensation consists of a base salary plus a pay for performance in compliance with the Broader Public Sector Executive Compensation Act, 2014 and the Excellent Care for All Act plus standard employee benefits. No compensation is provided for managing the KDH Health Centre and service on the KDH Foundation. Read our Employment Agreements with our CEO, Frank J.

Parking Directive Attestation

Hospital Service Accountability Agreement

Every hospital in Ontario is required to negotiate a Hospital Service Accountability Agreement (HSAA) with Ontario Health. The HSAA is a contract that stipulates accountability and performance obligations for planning, integration and delivery of programs and services. KDH also negotiates a Long-Term Care Home Service Accountability Agreement (LSAA) in light of our onsite Interim Long-Term Care unit, considered a long-term care home.

Within both Service Accountability Agreements (SAAs) is a schedule that sets out provincial goals identified by Ontario Health and the Local Obligations associated with each of the goals. Health service providers must select the most appropriate obligation(s) under each goal for implementation and must provide a report on the progress of their implementation(s). Below is reporting from KDH on Local Obligations associated with two provincial goals: Advance Indigenous Health Strategies and Outcomes; and Advance Equity, Inclusion, Diversity, and Anti-Racism Strategies to Improve Health Outcomes.

“So surgery went wonderfully and I absolutely loved every single person at the Kemptville Hospital!! Dr. Pickell was amazing and the anesthesiologist was so fun, so kind, so absolutely over the top perfect!! I have a son who has had more than 100 surgeries and I have been there until he fell asleep for most of them and we have never experienced the kind of over-the-top professionalism and kindness the way I did on Monday.”
