Roles of the Better Together Project Partners: 

Athabasca Tribal Council

ATC is in charge of leading the project using Indigenous voices, talking with people, sharing information, and, most importantly, teaching and speaking up about it. ATC wants to connect with all Indigenous communities in the area, including First Nations, Métis, and Inuit people who live in the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo. ATC promises that all Indigenous communities can join in the Better Together Project and help decide how it will work.

Alberta Health Services (AHS)

AHS will help make important changes to break down barriers that make it hard for Indigenous communities to get fair healthcare. They promise to give what's needed to make the Indigenous Health Space work well. AHS wants all Indigenous people in the area to feel respected, safe, and cared for.

Northern Lights Health Foundations (NLHF)

AHS is dedicated to helping. The Northern Lights Health Foundation is raising money to build the Indigenous Health Space at the Northern Lights Regional Health Centre. They've already secured some funds for research and data collection in the BTP thanks to a kind donation from Syncrude, which is run by Suncor.

University of Alberta, Health Sciences

AHS is working with the University of Alberta’s Health Sciences department. They are using the CARE (Collaborative Applied Research for Equity in Health Policy and Systems) Research Lab to do research. This research will help make changes that help Indigenous people and healthcare workers.
