Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we are reminded that reflection matters, truth matters—and that reconciliation asks us to carry the knowledge of that truth and then carry that reflection into action 🙌
So today we share an example of reflection and action. On Monday, we spent some time with the team at Iridia Medical for a learning session on Truth, Reconciliation & Cultural Humility (module 1 of a series of training we offer to our partners).
The Iridia team chose to make space to learn, to ask thoughtful questions, and to reflect on how each of us can contribute to culturally safe experiences for First Nations people… because cultural safety isn’t only created at the point of care. 👉 It can be shaped by the person who answers the phone. 👉 The person who writes the policy. 👉 The person who designs a process, schedules an appointment, communicates with a family or responds when someone raises a concern 👉 Everyone has a role 🤝
We were grateful to have our Knowledge Keeper Dave Frank join us to ground the conversation 🧡 and grateful for the openness the Iridia team brought to thinking about what they can do differently—not only today, but in the days that follow.
On September 30, we remember and honour the children who never returned home, Survivors, their families and communities.
And most importantly we reflect on what reconciliation asks of each of us beyond today! đź‘Ź
Learn something you weren’t taught.
Listen. Reflect. Ask rather than assume.
Consider the role you play within the systems around you.
And carry what you learn forward into action.
Truth comes before reconciliation. And reconciliation is a journey we continue together.
Thank you, Iridia Medical, for choosing to be part of that journey 🫶
