The Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT) is taking further action under the Emergency Management Act (EMA) to address the urgent need for a temporary location to provide shelter to vulnerable residents. The decision was made following several attempts to secure a location suitable to provide this critical service to the city’s vulnerable residents, in Yellowknife after the flooding at the Salvation Army resulted in closure.
The Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT) is committed to building strong and collaborative partnerships across all levels of government.
The swift resolution to the recent cluster of COVID-19 cases in Fort Liard demonstrates how powerful those partnerships can be.
All partners in last month’s pandemic response worked together to quickly and effectively implement the orders of the territory’s Chief Public Health Officer (CPHO) to help avert what could have become a widespread outbreak of COVID-19.
