Updates from CBHSSJB

The Health Board and Cree leadership encourage everyone to keep up with precautionary measures as the Cree Nation prepares for Goose Break.

Quebec is in the 3rd wave of the pandemic. COVID-19 cases continue to go up in many regions including Ontario. This is related to variants of the virus that spread more easily. In our neighbouring regions of Lac St-Jean and Abitibi there are new cases reported every day. This continues to be a concern for people travelling to and from Eeyou Istchee.

We hope to see as many people as possible vaccinated before going on Goose Break. We are in the 3rd wave of the pandemic. COVID-19 cases continue to go up in Ontario and Quebec. This is related to variants of the virus that spread more easily.

The Cree Nation Government and the Cree Board of Health are closely monitoring our neighbouring areas to assess the risks associated with travel.
