Dupuis has been a member of WECHU’s senior leadership team for the past 8 years.
In her current role as Director of Health Promotion, she has led many public health initiatives in our community and is a valued partner for her knowledge and expertise in health equity, strategic planning and public health issues.
Medical Officer of Health Dr. Wajid Ahmed and Dupuis have worked closely together on the return of fluoride to the drinking water, the legalization of cannabis, the introduction of seniors’ dental health programs.

I have the upmost respect for Nicole as a colleague and a friend and I am certain the transition will be a smooth one.”
