Please join the School of Public Health and Health Systems for a Hallman lecture and panel discussion on COVID-19 and Indigenous communities on May 19, from 1-4 p.m. with keynote speaker Perry Bellegarde, National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations.
The pandemic has had devastating and unique impacts on First Nation communities, particularly with the loss of respected Elders and Knowledge Holders. These impacts have been experienced differently across jurisdictions within Canada and bring to light critical opportunities for learning and advocating for a wide diversity of First Nation families and communities.
This Hallman lecture will include a discussion of the COVID-19 response from the perspective of Bellegarde, followed by a panel discussion on other national as well as regional successes and challenges.
