Better Together Projet
Indigenous-led change to local healthcare
The Better Together Project (BTP) is a new and important chance for Indigenous people in Treaty 8 and the Wood Buffalo area to improve their healthcare.
Led by Indigenous leaders and their ideas, BTP will change how healthcare and healing are done locally. It starts by turning part of the old Continuing Care Unit at Fort McMurray’s Northern Lights Regional Health Centre into a safe space for Indigenous wellness. This space will help First Nations, Métis, and Inuit people.
