Even before the commitment was made on paper and then solidified in ceremony, talk of Indigenous reconciliation had been taking place in the University of Waterloo’s Faculty of Health. However, it took the hire of an Indigenous Knowledge Keeper to give shape to a process that is sometimes not well understood and often difficult to begin.

Two researchers in the Faculty of Health have received funding from the Government of Canada’s New Frontiers in Research Fund (NFRF): Paolo Dominelli from the Department of Kinesiology and Health Sciences, and Warren Dodd in the School of Public Health Sciences.

John Hirdes, a professor in the School of Public Health Sciences, has received the designation of University Professor. He is one of two faculty members, along with Robert Mann in Physics and Astronomy, to be named in 2022. 

Health Studies student Madison McBay has been named the 2021 Faculty of Health Co-op Student of the Year for her spring work term with TAMVOES by Co-operative and Experiential Education (CEE). Last year, at the 2020 awards, she received an honourable mention for Co-op Student of the Year.
