Mayor's Select Committee on Health

Overview:

The Municipality has a committee that advocates for health in their community.
They [the municipality] come to us and say, “What can we do to make your life easier?” Get a new doctor in town, they take them out and show them the town. They have a Mayor’s Select Committee on Health which we’ve been invited to sit on the committee, where they advocate for dollars for us. So that’s – couldn’t be stronger. One of the – the current mayor, she was on council at the time, walked all the way to Chilliwack to protest the lack of services. Right? So it’s been very, very positive.
