The training varies across the Northwest Territories depending on the type of training or support that individual authorities pre-transformation had established. We are looking to try to obviously standardize some training to make sure that all long-term care facilities have training that is both adequate, timely, and effective. As an example, there is a three-day training that has been available in Fort Smith called P.I.E.C.E.S. P.I.E.C.E.S is an approach to a multidisciplinary team to understand enhanced care for individuals with physical and/or cognitive mental health issues that have behaviour changes, and how they can work together with the clients, with the facility, work together with their team members to ensure that, as they change, as they age, that the staff are on top of it and aware of incidents that may come up. So there is training that we're trying to standardize, trying to make sure that all of our staff have consistent training across the system.
