Light dusting of snow overnight, road dust is down for the moment, praise Yahweh for that.

Nain had two information gathering sessions yesterday. From 1 to 4 Labrador Grenfell Health [LGH] held a teleconference and personal attendance session in the NG board room.

From 7 to ? NG had a session gathering thoughts on what to do, if anything, about the Caribou herd regulations.

I was planing to attend the later but after receiving a telephone call in the morning decided to attend the former.

Some people claimed that the meeting was not well advertised, though I thought it was, more so than the caribou meeting but that meeting drew a larger crowd. Horses for courses.

Any way the LGH meeting had a small but fairly vocal attendance, plus there were two other communities on the line, Hopedale and Makkovik who were vocal also.

Three hours was no where near enough time to touch on the myriad of issues that plague health delivery on the coast, but better than nothing.

For me it was evident that LGH is already cognizant of most of the issues raised.

What is needed is strong loud voces/voices to lobby on a continuing basis to ensure the concerns of patience are heard, absorbed and acted upon on a timely basis.
