On this National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day, we are honoured to unveil two new Indigenous spaces at The Royal: the Katimajut Indigenous Gathering Room, meaning "They Gather" in Inuktitut, and the Mushkiki Medicine Room, meaning "Medicine" in Anishinaabemowin.
These spaces were created to support healing, connection, ceremony, and culturally safe care for Indigenous patients, families, staff, and community partners. We also recently unveiled Indigenous artwork in our Minto Greenberg Urgent Care Clinic, including The Path to Healing by , a powerful reflection on the lifelong journey of healing through culture, community, spirit, and connection to the land.
Together, these additions reflect our continued commitment to advancing reconciliation and to creating spaces where Indigenous knowledge, cultures, and ways of healing are respected, honoured, and reflected in care. They are an important part of our efforts to strengthen belonging, embrace diverse perspectives, and foster a more inclusive environment for those we serve and work alongside.
As we gather to reflect on the truths of our shared history and the impacts of residential schools, we remain committed to listening, learning, strengthening relationships, and taking action toward healing and reconciliation.
