NOTICE OF CHANGE OF SERVICES: SLFNHA Thunder Bay Transportation Department
It is with deep regret that the Sioux Lookout First Nations Health Authority (SLFNHA) announces the closure of its Thunder Bay Medical Van Transportation Department, effective April 1, 2026. This decision was not made lightly — it is a direct result of Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) and Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) failing to fund the program proportionally to the actual, documented volume of clients served and adequate funding for SLFNHA employees along with program operating costs.
