Summary

Nutrition label

65% Informative

Lillooet, B.C. , is facing a health-care crisis after a string of emergency room closures in the community.

The community is also facing a new provincial ambulance policy, which means non-life-threatening calls may not be attended to and in some cases, dispatchers may postpone dispatching an ambulance until more ambulances become available in the area.

The First Nation is not alone in taking matters into its own hands.
