Northern Health Virtual Townhall

Northern Health is renewing its strategic plan, and for the first time, this plan will look ahead 10 years instead of the usual shorter term. This means the perspectives gathered now will shape health services for Métis communities across Regions 5, 6 and 7 for a decade. We need your support and encourage all MNBC Citizens and self-identifying Métis people to join the conversation.

For this Métis-specific virtual session, notes will be taken and delivered back to Northern Health. The Agenda and the Guiding Questions will be shared below, so you can come prepared:
