Alberta Health Services Board Dismissed Amid Investigation Controversy


In a dramatic turn of events, the Alberta Health Services (AHS) Board was dismissed on the same day a critical investigation report was due.

The Auditor General of Alberta is now probing the matter, while the controversy continues to unfold, leaving many questioning the transparency and accountability within Alberta's healthcare system.
