Ktunaxa Health Fair 2026: Thank you to partners and attendees

June 17, 2026
 
The Ktunaxa Nation Health Fair was yesterday, and more than 100 people visited.
 
More than 20 health organizations participated to do public outreach and networking.
 
Message from Racheal Nicholas, Clinical Director, with KNC’s Social Investment team:
 
One of the most important parts of wellness is knowing where to turn for support. The Health Fair creates an opportunity for people to meet providers face-to-face, learn about available services, and build relationships in a welcoming environment.

It also gives organizations a chance to connect with one another so we can work together more effectively for the benefit of our communities.
 
A heartfelt thank you to all of the health staff, community partners, and organizers whose hard work made this event possible.
