Brandon - On November 14 & 15, West Region Treaty 2 & 4 Health Services held it's first "Men in Health Gathering," at the Clarion Hotel and Suites. In its original concept, the Men In Health Gathering was to be an outdoor gathering, but due to unforeseen circumstances the event was postponed until November. The Gathering was held for the males in our Health Centers and programs, to discuss how we can make health services more accessible to males in our communities, and to discuss a future Men's Gathering and how that may look. We were thankful for the 11 participants that attended on behalf of their communities and a very special thank you to Ken Norquay Jr. for taking the group out on the land to the WRTHS Spiritual Grounds. Meegwetch!
