Health-care staff in Fort Smith, N.W.T., are receiving made-in-the-North anti-racism training. Karen Blondin Hall, who manages the program, said she learned about cultural safety from an Indigenous professor while attending university. “We pulled together folks from the communities, like Indigenous-knowledge holders or elders to deliver key aspects of the training,” said Blondin Hall. “We start off with an activity called community introductions, where we introduce ourselves in a community way,” said Blondin Hall. Blondin Hall said the response to the training has been very positive and they are constantly improving it, based on feedback from participants.
