[Webinar] Indigenous Values in Care

September 29, 2026

11:00 am – 12:30 pm MT

10:00 am – 11:30 am PT

In acknowledgement of Truth and Reconciliation Day, the Indigenous Caregivers Collective (ICC) is hosting a panel to explore the Indigenous experience of caregiving. Centering the voices and experiences of Indigenous caregivers and moderated by Dr. Grant Bruno, this session will explore why Indigenous caregivers may be less likely to self-identify in this role and reflect on what reconciliation looks like through the lens of Indigenous caregiving.

Panelists will include feature members of the National Indigenous Caregiver Advisory, a group that brings together a wealth of lived experience and diverse perspectives from across the country.

The ICC is an initiative supported by the Canadian Centre for Caregiving Excellence, a program of the Azrieli Foundation.
