Violating the social media policy of the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre has cost Keith Taylor his job.

He was acting as co-chair for the patient family advisory council, but is no longer in the role thanks to images of Nazi-affiliated items on his Facebook page.

The posts date back to 2012 and included images of swastikas, a bronze sculpture of Adolf Hitler and a military badge, among other items.

Taylor started volunteering for the hospital nine years ago.
