Concern Over Unauthorized Surveillance at Richmond Heights Health Care Clinic in Richmond Hill

😳 I was shocked yesterday when I visited the 'RICHMOND HEIGHTS HEALTH CARE' walk-in clinic at 10520 Yonge St. Unit 4 in Richmond Hill and discovered two cameras in the washroom. Upon contacting York Regional Police #2 district, I was informed that no officer was available to take my call. Consequently, I spoke with Staff Sergeant Newton, badge #1048, who advised that while unusual, having cameras in the washroom is not a crime, despite what Section 162 of the Canadian Criminal Code suggests regarding voyeurism.

Staff Sergeant Newton recommended contacting the Richmond Hill By-Law office.

However, I believe it is also crucial to report this to:

1. York Regional Police
2. The Ontario Privacy Commissioner
3. Canadian Privacy Commissioner
4. College of Pharmacists
5. College of Physicians and Surgeons
6. WSIB of Ontario, Ontario Human Rights Commission
7. Local Business Licensing Authority
8. Building Owner or Management
9. Media Outlets
10. And various online resources and review sites.

I encourage others to do the same, as such practices should NOT be occurring. The more reports received, the more seriously it will be taken.

Feel free to visit the clinic yourself to see.

Thank you in advance for your support.
