Understanding the truth of the Indigenous experience, current and historic is the first step toward  reconciliation. This is happening through meetings with members of local indigenous communities, visits to the former Mohawk Residential School (Woodland Cultural Centre) and the participation of our faculty, staff, and learners in the San’yas Cultural Safety Training. We are also building partnerships with local Indigenous communities to listen, learn and understand before identifying possible areas of collaboration and potential projects. We are also partnering with NOSM and UoT in the development of a general psychiatry residency stream for Indigenous residents.
