What a great weekend in Dryden with temperatures in the high twenties, clear skies and rides galore at the Fall Fair the end of summer was quite enjoyable here. Thousands from town and the surrounding area took in three days worth of entertainment at the Agricultural Centre/Fair Grounds, 16 teams took to the baseball complex in a thoroughly enjoyable mixed slo-pitch tournament over the weekend and the Windsurfing Club enjoyed perfect (sunny and windy) conditions Sunday at Sandy Beach Park.  There was a definite energy about town as local shops teemed with shoppers preparing for school this week and neighborhoods were bathed in the smell of fresh bbq.

The DRHC (www.dh.dryden.on.ca) is also busy with fresh faces and energy as we welcome our latest clerks to the community. Two third year students from NOSM (www.normed.ca) are in Dryden for 8 months and have a nice orientation week set up with time set aside for sailing, aerial tours, some golf and fine dining. Another third year medical student will be leaving Dryden this weekend but has knocked a few items off her bucket list (windsurfing, sailing) while in town. And a visiting General Surgeon left town with a lot to think about; we have booked her for a return locum visit to assess the workplace fit.

If you are interested in an elective placement in Dryden or potential work (locum or full time) I’d be more than happy to chat/set up a site visit. Northwestern Ontario is a great place to live, raise and family and play.

Have a great week!
