September 30 is the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation. On this day, we honour the children who never returned home, Survivors of residential schools, their families and communities. Taking time to learn the truths and remember throughout the year is an important part of moving towards reconciliation.
This year Alberta's health agencies honoured the day with reflective sessions on September 24. Watch the recorded sessions on Together4Health.
On June 21, Canada celebrates National Indigenous Peoples Day. First celebrated in 1996, this is a day to recognize and celebrate the cultures and contributions of Indigenous Peoples from across Canada.

The Provincial Indigenous Health Program and the Indigenous Health Strategic Clinical Network have combined into one portfolio: Indigenous Wellness Core (IWC).
What This Means
The IWC is guided by the Indigenous Health Commitments: Roadmap to Wellness. The Indigenous Health Commitments guides AHS in developing the structures, processes and organizational culture needed to respond to Indigenous peoples’ unique needs at the provincial, zone and program level with a driving vision of achieving health equity for and with Indigenous peoples in Alberta.
