The Ontario College of Family Physicians (OCFP) is the Ontario Chapter of the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC). The OCFP is a provincial, voluntary, not-for-profit organization that is the voice of family medicine in Ontario and represents close to 9000 family physicians who provide patient care for remote, rural, suburban, urban and inner city communities throughout Ontario. The building and maintenance of high standards of medical practice, the continuing professional development of our members, and improved access to high quality family medicine services for all residents of Ontario are at the heart of our organization. The OCFP has a very active Environmental Health Committee that is playing a leadership role in research, education, and health advocacy on many environmental health issues, such as climate change, urban sprawl, children’s environmental health, air quality, pesticides, heavy metals, toxics use reduction/chronic disease prevention, and water quality.
