Indigenous Physicians Association of Canada: Strengthening Allyship in Action

The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is on Sept. 30, and this important time provides an opportunity for non-Indigenous people, especially those working in healthcare and education, to consider how they can take meaningful action toward reconciliation.

This 90-minute Zoom session will offer practical tools and guidance for engaging in responsible allyship, collaborating respectfully with Indigenous colleagues and creating programming that moves beyond symbolic gestures.
