Advisory Circle
Dr. Alika Lafontaine
11:00 AM -12:30PM in PST | 2:00 PM - 3:30PM in EST
From 2013-2017, Dr. Lafontaine co-led the Indigenous Health Alliance (IHA), a health transformation project involving 150 First Nations across three Provinces. In 2018, the Federal government allocated $58 million in funding for initiatives championed by the IHA. Drawing on research gathered during the 5 year project and two decades of experience in Indigenous Health, Dr. Lafontaine will discuss how health system design supports the status quo and prevents transformation, despite evidence of the ongoing health crises and harms experienced by First Nation, Inuit and Métis (FNIM) Peoples across Canada.
