some
great
work
that
is
happening
in
the
northern
Rockies
Regional
municipality
or
commonly
known
as
Fort
Nelson.
The
northern
Rockies
has
been
committed
to
achieving
Equitable
access
to
health
services
for
all
residents
in
the
region
for
many
years
and
is
recognized
as
an
exemplary
municipality
in
terms
of
its
ongoing
advocacy
planning
and
sustainment

The

sees
this
as
a
foundation
for
a
healthy
Vibrant
Community,
which
has
led
to
the
creation
of
the

The

organizations,
along
with
previous
studies,
to
create
an

A
The
northern
Rockies
takes
into
consideration
that,
in

to

requires

a
focus
on
Regional,

that
deliver

services
to
our
to
World

by
working
collaborative
collaboratively
with
a

of
Partners.
The

will
create
