New Hay River health centre needs a name

N.W.T. health officials are asking the public for help in naming Hay River's new healthcentre.

The new $50 million facility is currently being built.

"There's a lot of people in this community that have a lot of strong ties to health care in Hay River," said ErinGriffiths with the Hay River Health and Social Services Authority.

"We want to utilize those ties and possibly submit a person's name."

Griffiths says people with suggestions should consider the culture and history of the area.

Submissions can be made to the Hay River Health and Social Services Authority until April 11.
