Beyond the comprehensive long-term plan on capital needs of the NWT that I spoke about and the Foundation for Change Action Plan, which is related, under the new GNWT capital planning process, planning study is required to be completed prior to putting forward a potential capital project for consideration for inclusion in the infrastructure plan. The planning study has to include a needs analysis, operational plan functioning program and schematic design. It’s not just about saying we need this facility here, but really looking at what’s to be delivered there, what other programming and what other services. Once that planning study is submitted by the department to the capital planning review process, then there is a peer review committee that will review the proposal and it will work its way up through the process. This wellness facility idea in Sahtu is at its beginning stage.
