FNHC Open for Business During Olympics
The First Nations Health Council will remain open for business during the Olympic games. From February 8-26, 2010 the core business hours of the Health Council will be from 9:00 AM- 3:00 PM. Due to increased congestion and traffic alternative work arrangements are being implemented where neccesary. The Health Council are testing these solutions now, and are working to ensure that impacts on First Nations and other stakeholders are kept to a minimum during this time.
