Prince Albert Daily Herald Prince Albert Mayor Greg Dionne speaks at the announcement for the new Prince Albert Hospital on March 6, 2020. (Peter Lozinski) Tuesday’s announcement that the province hopes to begin construction on the expanded next year also highlights the upcoming involvement of two local organizations that will play a key role in the project moving forward. One of those organizations is the Prince Albert Grand Council (PAGC). The tribal council was involved in the initial announcement last February and its work helping to guide the new facility was highlighted again Tuesday. The province committed to working with the Prince Albert Grand Council (PAGC) on the facility’s design to ensure it is welcoming for all people, including the region’s large Indigenous population. In Tuesday’s press release, the province said it is establishing a senior PAGC committee with representation from the PAGC, SHA and Ministry of Health to collaborate and ensure appropriate input in planning and design to support the SHA’s commitment to the truth and reconciliation committee’s calls to action.
