The Sioux Lookout First Nations Health Authority (SLFNHA) is suspending its medical transportation program in Thunder Bay, Ontario as of April 1, 2026, resulting in the layoff of more than 20 First Nation staff members. The program suspension is due to lack of proportional funding from Indigenous Services Canada and the Non-Insured Health Benefits program despite providing approximately 38,000 rides since its launch in April 2024.
