Do you feel that the health care and emergency services work force has “recovered” since facing the demands of the COVID-19 pandemic? What would meaningful recovery or resilience look like for you over the next few years? Empower the North (ETN) invites health care professionals and people working in emergency services to participate in an online community dialogue on Friday, November 14th from noon-1pm. Join us to share stories of resilience and challenges faced due to the lingering impacts the pandemic has on your daily front-line work.
While the acute phase of the COVID-19 pandemic has passed, many of its long-term effects continue to impact individuals and service providers here in Thunder Bay. To help foster a resilient future, ETN has been collecting local data to better understand how our community is managing ongoing pressures, evolving services, and adapting to overall workforce and system-wide modifications.
Information collected will be included in our community report to be shared later in 2025.
Interested? Please RSVP by November 11, 2025: https://form.jotform.com/252977892740271
