A tribal council representing five First Nations in northeastern Alberta declared a state of emergency over what it calls an escalating mental health and addictions crisis.

This is a tragedy of multiple inadequate Band-Aidsolutions over generations,” he said. “We must have industry strengthen partnerships with our communities to increase access to cultural safety, health care and to provide training and career opportunities to benefit and provide hope to our communities and families.”
