Celebrate Indigenous health and culture
Learn about Indigenous health and celebrate Indigenous culture. Attend the Knowledge Circle & Celebration Dinner hosted by Diabetes Canada
Diabetes Canada is excited to host the first Miyo Pimatisiwin Knowledge Circle and Celebration Dinner at Prairieland Park in Saskatoon on May 15th.
“We hope people will join us for this opportunity to learn more about Indigenous health and to celebrate Indigenous culture in Saskatchewan. Together, we will explore pathways to healing and emerging opportunities for miyo pimatisiwin, which means to live life to the fullest or to “be alive well”,” says Brie Hnetka, Regional Director, Diabetes Canada, Saskatchewan.
The Knowledge Circle, which is proudly supported by the Office of the Dean of Research, U of S, takes place from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm and will feature a panel discussion moderated by Dr. Alexandra King, MD, FRCPC, Cameco Chair in Indigenous Health at the University of Saskatchewan. Keynote speakers with expertise in diabetes will share their experiences working in the field of Indigenous health. Time will also be allocated for attendees to participate in an active discussion.
