Building Connections in the North: CERAH Heads to Yellowknife

In January, members of the CERAH team were invited to Yellowknife, Northwest Territories to facilitate a Palliative Care for Frontline Workers in Indigenous Communities workshop and a Palliative Care Community Capacity Development workshop, supporting local learning and community-led approaches to palliative care.

We are grateful for the opportunity to learn alongside communities and strengthen relationships across the country.

Lakehead University respectfully acknowledges its campuses are located on the traditional lands of Indigenous people. Lakehead Thunder Bay is located on the traditional lands of the Fort William First Nation, Signatory to the Robinson Superior Treaty of 1850. Lakehead University acknowledges the history that many nations hold in the areas around our campuses, and is committed to a relationship with First Nations, Métis, and Inuit based on the principles of mutual trust, respect, reciprocity, and collaboration in the spirit of reconciliation. As a Centre we are committed to working towards reconciliation and decolonizing our work and have committed as a staff to educating ourselves in these areas both personally and professionally.
