NORTHERN FIRST NATIONS HEALTH AUTHORITY NEWS
Welcome to the Jan. 2023 edition of NORTH
IN THIS EDITION
 
A little bit of Hollywood stardust fell on Prince George as on-screen stars and honoured guests attended the première of The Northern Response, a film about how the North acted during the COVID-19 pandemic.
 
Imagine being wakened by your sibling telling you your home was on fire. That's what happened in Tsay Keh Dene to Skyler and Serenity Pierre. Their quick response saved lives.
 
Project managers get things done. And when the projects are about land based healing, the cultural elements are sure to make each one unique. Check out this month's Job For You.
 
A recent cold snap, with temperatures dropping to -40C, affected our most vulnerable people. Julie Morrison discusses their needs in her Bonfire Chat.
 
FYI an Addictions Engagement & Knowledge Exchange Forum is coming up in March. There is compensation available for Nations who lived with long term water advisories. Community Wellness Awards and First Nations Harm Reduction Grants have upcoming deadlines. And we say "So long" to Dr. Shannon McDonald.
 
It was a night to come together and watch how we all responded to COVID-19 at a gala première. See who showed up in our gallery!
 
 
 
On the cover
Two women - both doctors - guided us with care and professionalism during the years of the COVID-19 pandemic. At the opening of The Northern Response, the FNHA honoured Dr. Bonnie Henry, Provincial Health Officer, and Dr. Shannon McDonald, newly retired Chief Medical Officer, FNHA, with drums painted by Clayton Gauthier. Dr. Shannon was also gifted a woven cedar hat for all her work on our behalf. Thank you ladies! èèè
