Seeley's Bay Welcomes New Doctor

After five years without a doctor, Seeley’s Bay welcomes its first new primary care physician in decades — Dr. Tauqeer Tariq, brought to the town through a provincial immigration pilot program designed to solve rural healthcare shortages. The program helped fast-track his licensing and residency path, filling a critical gap left by the legendary Dr. Debbie Briggs, who retired after 30 years of service. Though Dr. Briggs delayed her own exit for five years hoping for a replacement, she now feels peace as Dr. Tariq steps into the role — promising to bring his own unique dedication to the community she treated like family.
