Peace River Aboriginal Interagency
Background
Since 2003, the Peace River Aboriginal Interagency Committee (PRAIC) has operated as an informal network for information sharing. There are two primary elements to the interagency, the monthly meeting and the email network platform.
Members are invited to attend meetings when they are available, as well as sign up to receive email correspondence that helps share program, event and referral information. We work to keep the information relevant to the catchment areas, and are able to share information with other AICs, with email networks in Grande Prairie, High Level, High Prairie and Peace River.
Meeting schedule
PRAIC meetings are on the third Tuesday of the month from September to June, 9:30 am -12:00 pm. We meet online via zoom and in -person at the Peace River Municpal Library
Format
The Peace River Aboriginal Interagency (PRAIC) promotes a collaborative and holistic approach while engaging in solutions-based dialogue that embraces culture and history, and strives to enhance individual and community work towards the best possible outcomes for Aboriginal children, families and communities. Our informal format provides an open avenue for agency representatives, community members to network with one another and share ideas, resources and programming information. Standing Subcommittee committees are Sisters in Spirit, Peace River Pow Wow, Peace River Soup Kitchen, Education Committee, and Indigenous Art Show. On occasion other subcommittees may be formed if need arises. Attendance is open to anyone and we do not require that everyone attends every meeting. Please keep in mind the round table portion of our meetings will not be recorded.
Co-Chairs Priscilla Lalonde & Randilee Fisher
