Anti-Indigenous Racism Knowledge Sharing Event 2025

September 29, 2025, 12-4 p.m. ET.

The First Anti-Indigenous Racism Knowledge Sharing Event is a groundbreaking initiative aimed at addressing anti-Indigenous racism within the health-care system. This virtual event will bring together health-care professionals, policy-makers and community leaders to share knowledge, experiences and strategies to create a more equitable and culturally safe health-care environment.

Anti-Indigenous racism is a direct result of the dark legacy of colonization in Canada. Embedded in systems, First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples are significantly disadvantaged and often harmed. This leads to many social challenges and health disparities that require multifaceted and targeted solutions.

Registration for this event will open soon!
