Today is Canada Day – time to celebrate the vibrant and diverse country we call home. From coast to coast to coast, Canada’s strength lies in its cultures, languages, and communities, and in the values of freedom and inclusion we share.

At UHN, Canada’s Hospital, we’re proud to serve and reflect the people of this country every day. We’re especially grateful to the many TeamUHN members working today to keep patient care flowing without interruption.

This National Indigenous History Month, TeamUHN gathered at UHN’s Princess Margaret Cancer Centre for a session hosted by the Toronto Central Regional Indigenous Cancer Program.

Focused on moving beyond land acknowledgements, the gathering intentionally highlighted Inuit and Métis voices and perspectives that are less often centered in broader Indigenous conversations.

Through knowledge sharing, stories and performances, the gathering highlighted the diverse Indigenous communities accessing care at Princess Margaret and UHN – prompting reflection on how culture, learning and relationship-building can support more culturally safer cancer care.
