Who is Who in the AHS Lawsuit?

Alberta Health Services (AHS) - The Defendant in the lawsuit. AHS consists of the boards and councils that oversea all healthcare in Alberta.

Alberta Health - The government ministers and staff over health care in Alberta. They work with AHS and draft legislation. 

Danielle Smith - The current Premier of Alberta and former leader of the Wildrose. She has made enemies in AHS by promising overhauling the system such as adding a mental health and addiction. She has added two new Advisory counsels on the aforementioned subjects and put forward the idea of involuntary confinement of (certain) addicts. 

Marshall Smith - He is a former addict and the former top aid and drug strategy architect in Smith's government. He was replaced by Rob Anderson in late 2024. He works in addiction and recovery and was a strong advocate for an effective approach to drug addiction. 

Adriana LeGrange - The current MP for Red Deer North and former Minister of Education. She is currently the Minister of Health in the UCP government. She was in the contact point for AHS and it was to her that Mentzelopolous brought her concerns. Some MPs have called for her removal after the scandal broke.

 Athana Mentzelopolous - The Plaintiff in the lawsuit. She was the former AHS president and CEO. She has a long history in the public sector and was a former advisor to Christy Clark. She first spoke out about a problem with AHS contracts last summer to Adriana LeGrange.

 Andre Tremblay - AHS administrator as of January 31st, 2025. He is also the current head of AHS, a potential conflict of interest.
