Who we are
Ongomiizwin is made up of three units:
Rady Faculty Reconciliation Action Plan
Ongomiizwin leads the implementation of the Rady Faculty’s Reconciliation Action Plan, developed in response to the health-related calls to action made by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada.
The Action Plan addresses themes such as:
- honouring traditional knowledge and healing practices
- providing safe learning environments
- improving support and retention of Indigenous students
- educating all students and faculty in cultural safety and anti-racism
- removing barriers to health professional education
The Action Plan was developed through a collaborative 18-month process involving University of Manitoba faculty, staff, students, alumni, community members, Elders and Knowledge Keepers. An Elders and Knowledge Keepers advisory circle retreat was held at Turtle Lodge.
