Who We Serve
We currently travel to the following communities regularly to offer comprehensive reproductive health care:
Fort Chipewyan
Janvier/Chard
Conklin
Fort McKay
These communities fall under a medical evacuation policy, so our in-community outreach reproductive clinics help reduce the need for frequent travel to Fort McMurray.
Our services are available for all Indigenous folks located within the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo, including urban Fort McMurray and other communities.
Current Offerings
Ihkapaskwa Collective offers a range of services focused on promoting Indigenous health and wellness.
