• Ability to provide an Indigenous community perspective on North Central CMA activities.

Other criteria include the ability to communicate effectively with local communities, and availability to attend monthly meetings. Successful applicants will be appointed for a three-year term.

NRMC members receive sitting fees and reimbursement for travel and other expenses associated with NRMC business.
