Brenda Copps

Dr. Brenda Copps served as President of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario in 2020. She was a practicing physician at Core Care Family Health Team at the time of her election. Copps tapped Dr. Christine Glenny to cover her appointments on Tuesdays while she attended CPSO meetings in Toronto. At the time, Dr. Glenny was new to the Core Care team and was beginning her practice.¹⁾

It is unclear why Dr. Dopps was chosen as President, as she has a history of mixed reviews from patients from well before (and after) 2020.²⁾

Interestingly, Google displays contradictory information as the search results place her 2.5 star rating from Rate MDs right overtop three five-star ratings.³⁾ Copps is currently listed as actively practicing at Core Family Health Team under Hamilton Family Health Team.^{4) 5)}

Copps formerly served on the Board of Directors of the Art Gallery of Hamilton, which was awarded at least $59,500.00 in COVID-19 relief funds from the Hamilton Community Foundation.^{6) 7) 8)} She is also employed as Assistant Clinical Professor (Adjunct) in Family Medicine in the Faculty of Health Sciences at McMaster University.⁹⁾ She remained with the CPSO in 2021 as an “Elected Professional Member” for “Electoral District 4”.¹⁰⁾

Copps’ practice at Core Care Family Health Team doctors “STRONGLY recommend” their patients receive a COVID-19 injection, and direct people with questions to a page called “VaxFacts” run by the Scarborough Health Network (SHN).^{11) 12)}
