Yellowknife's primary care centre has reopened following a bout of weekend flooding, but will have reduced services until further notice.

The Northwest Territories Health and Social Services Authority said Tuesday thatthe clinic side of the centre is once again open to the public, and any previously booked appointments will go forward. That goes for psychiatric appointments as well.

The lab and diagnostic imaging side of the centre is still closed, with no expected date of reopening yet. Those services will take place at the Stanton Territorial Hospital for now.

As for mental health services, counsellors affected by the flooding will work out of the Goga Chobuilding. The health authority says affected clients will be notified.

The primary care centre closed Saturday, though details on what caused the flooding weren't made public.
