In Gratitude

This guide is part of a project of the 9 English School Boards of Quebec  (PROCEDE) towards their educational responsibility in the process of  Reconciliation. The aim is in response to the recommendations by the Truth &  Reconciliation Commission Calls to Action and the Quebec Viens Report to  ensure a culturally safe environment for Indigenous Peoples and equipping  future health sector graduates with the tools and awareness to contribute to a  more inclusive environment and welcoming diversity. This project has been fully funded by the Directors’ General of the 9 School boards. We thank you.

We also thank the Advisory Committee for graciously volunteering their time  and for their valuable input:
