Burntwood Regional Health Authority 2009 community health assessment

ABOUT THE REGION The Burntwood Region covers most of the province of Manitoba lying north of the 56th parallel. [...] The BRHA is the largest geographical health region in the province at 324,000 square kilometers covering 52 per cent of the province. [...] The Burntwood population is very young relative to the rest of the province. [...] This means that Burntwood must continue to meet the needs of its young population, but continue to plan for appropriate resources and services for residents as they age and decide to stay in the Burntwood region in their retirement years. [...] For women, "Health and Education" account for 43 per cent of all employment in the region, compared to 33 per cent for Manitoba women overall.
