The High Prairie Aboriginal Interagency is open to helping services in High Prairie and Slave Lake. The group organizes Indigenous cultural events and shares information about resources in the area.
The June 10 meeting was in High Prairie, with the option for people to attend online. Agencies from Slave Lake, High Prairie, and further afield were present.
For the last few months, the group has alternated meetings between High Prairie and Slave Lake. Do we want to continue to meet in both communities, asked Wendy Goulet, with Children’s Services.
“It’s nice to have a few meetings in Slave Lake, if possible,” said Tim Horsman, with Alberta Health Services Public Health in Slave Lake.
Sam Laboucan with First Nation Health Consortium agreed.
“We should at least split them up 60-40,” said Naal Sharkawi, Children’s Resource Council CAO.
The plan is to continue alternating meetings.
