  • Grande Peace Niso Regional Advisory Council Survey

Overview

The Grande Peace Niso Regional Advisory Council engages with communities to identify health care priorities and advise Alberta’s government on ways to make health care better in the region. The council is made up of community members who are passionate about health care. Members come from all walks of life including parents and grandparents who are familiar with the health system, doctors and other health professionals, and local community leaders living in northwestern region.

The council region includes communities such as Grande Prairie, Peace River, Falher, Keg River, Manning, Peace River, Grimshaw, Little Buffalo, Fairview, Cherry Point, Spirit River, McLennan, Hythe, Beaverlodge, Valleyview, Fox Creek, Grande Cache, as well as Horse Lakes, Sturgeon Lake, and Woodland Cree First Nation.

Role

The Government of Alberta created the regional advisory councils and tasked members with amplifying local voices and bringing forward local health priorities. The Grande Peace Niso Council's role is to explore solutions to health care issues and present recommendations to improve the health system. The council is not a decision-making body.
