Our wellness depends on strong and committed leadership who listens to the needs of our peoples. The FNQLHSSC looks forward to collaborating with the new Chief to pursue our collective work to ensure that health and social services are more accessible and respectful of our cultural realities,\u201d said Derek Montour, President of the FNQLHSSC Board of Directors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis new chapter for the AFNQL constitutes a valuable and essential opportunity to strengthen the autonomy and self-determination of our Nations and to accelerate the implementation of essential actions for everyone\u2019s wellness.
