Candle Lake Health Services Committee 

Our Mission:  To champion health and wellness within our community and the broader region by proactively identifying and addressing evolving local needs. Through strong partnerships with all stakeholders, identify health risks, intervene when possible, eliminate barriers to quality healthcare, sustain and grow local health and wellness services. 

Our VisionFoster a thriving, healthy community, through innovative, sustainable health and wellness initiatives that evolve with local needs, ensuring equitable access to quality health care, and empower individuals to achieve optimal wellbeing through all stages of life. 

Candle Lake - Alive and Well,  a Candle Lake Health Services Project 2024 

Our action plan starts by identifying the community health needs and resources. 

In March, we invited 40 Candle Lake residents to 2-hour Focus Group sessions as part of Phase 1 of our survey. We brainstormed for information about health and wellness in our community. We asked - What services do we use? What works well? Are there barriers and challenges to accessing health services, and what do we want for the future?  The ideas flowed from the participants.  What we heard was not surprising.   

What’s next?  A full community survey will be widely distributed this spring.  It’s your opportunity to provide us with the data to make impactful additions or changes.  Watch for Hard copies available at the village office and post office and on the RVCL webpage.

We have partnered with the Saskatchewan Health Quality Council who will work with us providing consultative guidance in this innovative project. Together we can discover a multitude of small changes that may make a major impact on health and wellness in our rural community.    

Participate in the upcoming Community Survey!  We need everyone’s wisdom for the wisest results!
