Behind the Scenes
Health care is essential to any community. At one point or another, we all need medical help and it is the work of nurses, doctors, and more that we are taken care of. Across Canada, each community faces its unique challenges when it comes to the health care industry, with the Peace region being no exception. While we have an investigative series called Code Grey that is looking at the systemic issues in our region, another area we write a lot about is recruitment.
Our hope when we share stories about recruitment efforts is not only to raise awareness of the problem but to help reach a wider audience of potential health care workers. Our latest story on this topic is about two professionals speaking to students at North Peace Secondary School earlier this week. Here are some more thoughts from our staff on past stories:
Top Stories of the Week
It’s always interesting to see what the readers of Energeticcity.ca are most interested in the region. Sometimes it’s a big decision impacting property taxes, and sometimes it’s a new restaurant coming to town. Here are the top stories for the week of April 16 to 22, 2023:
- Body Found in Kiskatinaw River: originally reported last Sunday, the body was eventually identified later in the week. The investigation is still ongoing.
