(Yellowknife, August 13, 2023) – The Northwest Territories Health and Social Services Authority is advising residents in Yellowknife that service levels may be reduced to support evacuation response efforts related to the Hay River and Fort Smith evacuation orders. Adjustments to services may be made to ensure resources can be redirected in support of displaced individuals.

Any impacted individuals will be notified directly with further details should service changes impact booked appointments, and plans to defer any impacted appointments will be put in place.

We remain committed to keeping residents informed and will continue to assess our service levels as the situation unfolds. Any service changes will be announced on the NTHSSA website and via our Facebook.
