The South Peace Health Expo is set to return for a second year, bringing together healthcare providers and community organizations from across the region.

The free event will take place Saturday, May 23, at Co-op Mercer Hall, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The event is hosted by the South Peace Primary Care Network in partnership with local organizations. This year’s expo will focus on the theme “Resilience: Working Together for Healthy Communities.”

Organizers say the event is designed to help residents connect with healthcare professionals, learn about services available in their communities, and better understand how to access care locally.

More than 30 local organizations and service providers are expected to take part, offering interactive exhibits, activities, and informational booths.

The expo builds on strong community interest from last year and aims to strengthen connections across the health system while supporting overall wellbeing in the South Peace region.
