Indigenous health providers in northwest British Columbia are canceling non-emergency medical trips to Vancouver this summer due to skyrocketing hotel prices for the FIFA World Cup. The Nisga’a Valley Health Authority and other centers are implementing a blackout on bookings from June tenth to July twentieth to save money. This move affects patients needing regular checkups for conditions like cancer, heart issues, or kidney care, who often travel every few months. The goal is to prioritize emergencies and ensure urgent cases can still get rooms when needed.
