Georgian College says it is cancelling its controversial advanced diploma program in homeopathy. "In light of the recent response from our local community and beyond and in consideration of our students, Georgian College has made the decision to cancel the homeopathy program," the Ontario school said in a statement on Friday. The program had been approved by the Georgian College board of governors and the Ontario Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development. He worried there would be a risk to public health if people assumed homeopathy has some legitimacy. Health Canada has warned that children given homeopathic nosodes instead of vaccinations are at risk of developing serious and potentially fatal illnesses.
