Community Focus Groups – March 2024
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.
Making Connections
Four Candle Lake Health Services committee members, the Mayor and our Resort Village of Candle Lake Administrative representative were invited to attend the Health Quality Council’s Thrive at Home Workshop: Re-Envisioning Community Supports for Older Adults held in Saskatoon on April 29th.
The aim of the conference was to strengthen and improve community-based care and services that enable older adults to “thrive at home” and age where they choose. It seems many people choose Candle Lake to do just that. Our intent is to find ways to assist our community to provide new local services and continue to care for each other.
We presented our initiative, “Candle Lake Alive and Well” and joined in discussions with Saskatchewan people representing the Saskatchewan Health Authority, provincial service agencies, service providers and seniors. We were given many ideas and are now linked to resources from around the province. Read “Emerging Insights,” a report from the Thrive at Home conference.
