Organizer: Health Leadership Academy
An event about the future of indigenous health & well-being, and the leadership capabilities which will get us there.
It has been over two years since the release of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s final report which documented Canada’s shared history of colonialism and residential schooling of Indigenous people. The legacy of this dark period can be measured by the inequitable health and social conditions experienced by Indigenous people in Canada. A reconciliation path forward requires the leadership of both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people.
Dr. Downey will discuss key concepts related to engaging with Indigenous peoples towards implementation of the TRC Calls to Action in the spirit of reconciliation.
Presentation with Q&A period
Lunch will be provided
