Plan Your Month of Learning & Celebration

Whether you join a sunrise walk, pick up a beading needle for the first time, or attend a powow, every action is a step toward understanding and reconciliation. If you can’t attend in person, explore Indigenous literature and film, learn more about the territory you live on, or support local Indigenous-owned businesses and artists.

Alberta Primary Care Networks recognize that reconciliation is part of health care. We’re committed to creating culturally safe spaces where every patient feels respected and heard.
