Full RecordingFeasibility Assessment - Primary Care Attachment Clinic
Council discussed funding and building a new medical clinic to help residents find family doctors.
"CAO Doug Noel clarified that a suitable grant has not yet been identified, meaning the $775,000 startup cost would likely come from reserves. Lauren Friesen of Aroga expressed confidence in recruiting physicians. Councillor MacKenzie opposed the project, arguing the issue is a lack of doctors rather than physical space, and cited the high financial risk if the clinic fails."
