Residents from the Western Arctic Region who must travel to Edmonton for medical treatment may find logistical arrangements and plans, on top of the situation at hand, very overwhelming and confusing. Since opening in 2000, Larga has offered affordable and simple help to these northerners in need.
This joint venture partnership offers more than just pleasant accommodations and home-cooked meals. Larga’s friendly and understanding staff will help guests arrange their flight, medical appointments and transportation logistics. Larga is committed to helping eliminate the difficult cultural barriers visitors may encounter while traveling to a large unknown city.
Located near the downtown core, about half a block from the Royal Alexander Hospital, this modern facility can house up to 56 people at a time and employs 15 people. Visitors will feel right at home in this comfortable and supportive environment with northern staff, on-site translation services and home-cooked northern food.
