O’Chiese First Nation Chief Douglas Beaverbones to raise concerns with Tyler Shandro about the way members of his community are treated by the health system
Alberta Health Minister Tyler Shandro speaks to the media at the Premier's annual Stampede breakfast in Calgary, Monday, July 12, 2021.The chief of an Alberta First Nation will meet with the province’s Health Minister this week to raise concerns about the way members of his community are treated by the health system.
Beaverbones is quick to point out that this sort of behaviour in the health sector against First Nations has been happening for decades. Lakeside EMS is contracted to work on the three nations in the region. Beaverbones says that will be revisited.“I believe we will replace Lakeside. We’re trying to have our own people train up for medical and ambulance,” he said.
Now Big Horn First Nation has joined the other two First Nations and the town in forming an anti-racism task force. Details will be worked out at the next meeting.
