On the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, OHSNI honours the children who never came home, the Survivors, and the families and communities forever impacted by the residential school system.
Three sections of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s Calls to Action focus on health, child welfare, and language and culture — areas that are foundational to our work at OHSNI. We are proud to contribute to these calls by:
✔️ Offering services in both English and Inuktitut
✔️ Advocating for patients to receive timely, culturally responsive care
✔️ Partnering with organizations such as Tungasuvvingat Inuit and Larga Baffin to build trust and improve access
✔️ Supporting Inuit families through the Inuit Child First Initiative application process, ensuring children and families receive the care and supports they need
Our commitment is to continue advancing OHSNI’s vision to heal, learn, and grow together. By promoting Indigenous health equity, we work towards brighter health outcomes for all.
