JOINT STATEMENT FROM SHADOW MINISTER FOR MENTAL HEALTH AND ADDICTIONS BETTY NIPPI-ALBRIGHT AND ATHABASCA MLA LEROY LALIBERTE

For immediate release: May 12, 2025 

Our hearts are with the families in Birch Narrows and across the North who are grieving unimaginable loss.  

This kind of pain is hard to put into words — and it is being felt deeply by entire communities across the province themselves grieving loved ones. 

People are doing their best to hold each other up, but they shouldn’t have to do it alone. 

Mental health supports are still too far away, too hard to access, or simply not there, and it’s been that way for years and years. 

Enough promises. It’s time for urgent, sustained action — led by the people who call these communities home, now and into future.
