THUNDER BAY — Staff at both Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre and St. Joseph’s Care Group will have to undertake mandatory Wake the Giant Indigenous cultural and diversity training.

The hospital needs to do better, she said, adding the organization has made it a priority to address equity, diversity and inclusion at the Health Sciences Centre and heard loud and clear last year the importance of all three. “We learn more from failures than we do from successes many, many times. And by hearing about these stories and understanding what individual's situations are, it will certainly help us to be able to relate better, create a more open organization that is culturally safe and understanding of Indigenous People,” she said.

The program was developed by Northern Nishnawbe Education Council leaders, with the collaboration of elders, knowledge keepers, educators and the Wake the Giant committee, along with support from health-care partners. Upon completion of the course, employees and volunteers at Thunder Bay Regional and St. Joseph’s Care Group will receive a special decal to place on their employee badge, a signal to patients and guests that they’ve gone through the module.
