Better Together Project
The Better Together Project is a groundbreaking opportunity for First Nations, Metis and Inuit peoples living within the Wood Buffalo area in Treaty 8 to redefine what health, healing and care means to them. Led by Indigenous peoples and their perspectives, BTP will change how mainstream healthcare is provided and accessed in the region.
We share our gratitude for honoring our Elders, Knowledge Keepers, program & space together in a good way. We look forward to sharing these valuable teachings with you. For more information on the workshop, please reach out to the Better Together Project team at BetterTogetherProject@atcfn.ca
