Taloyoak health centre on emergency services only

The Department of Health is advising that the Taloyoak health centre is operating on emergency services only due to a fuel spill at the facility.

Presently, a section of the health centre that is free of fuel fumes is being used to offer emergency services to the public. Should fumes make the entire health centre unfit for patient care, an alternative location in the community will be found and the public will be notified.

The dental team will be relocated to Cambridge Bay until the situation is resolved.

The Department of Health is working with the Department of Community and Government Services to clean up the spill as quickly as possible.

For any questions, community members can call 867-561-5111.
