Back issue. The Denman Firestarter did not exist on 2019-09-12. This edition was compiled on 2026-10-01 from the public record as it stood on 2019-09-12, and contains nothing dated after that day — no outcomes, no hindsight. It is a reconstruction of what was on the record at the time, not a document from the time. This edition.

The Hornby and Denman Community Health Care Society is marking 40 years, and an exhibition curated by Megan Davies of York University is in development to showcase the society’s rural health-care support model.^[1]

The Grapevine report says the society provides home-support services on both islands and that its executive director, Lori Nawrot, described it as one of the few grassroots home-support health-care services to have survived for so long.^[1]

The report says the society holds monthly sessions where health-care providers, including doctors, public health nurses and paramedics, share news and discuss issues.^[1]
