Vancouver Coastal
The Vancouver Coastal Region consists of 14 First Nations communities; all of which vary in size including many isolated communities. Each community elects a First Nations Chief based on their own selection process.
About
Vancouver Coastal First Nations formed the Vancouver Coastal Caucus to coordinate and oversee health development in the Region, which provides the space for political leaders and health technicians to convene regularly. The Caucus advocates on behalf on their sub-regions and plays an important role in the creation of the Vancouver Coastal Partnership Agreement, the partnership between Vancouver Coastal Health and the First Nations Health Authority.
Nations
Each First Nation or community has one political and one technical representative, for a total of 28 representatives at the Vancouver Coastal Caucus. Three members from the Caucus are selected to sit on the First Nations Health Council and form part of the Vancouver Coastal First Nations Regional Table, which acts as a strategic group working alongside various partners including Vancouver Coastal Health. Each sub-region also appoints one representative to the Council to represent them at a provincial level, working with the Vancouver Coastal Caucus to provide direction to their FNHC representative.
