Indigenous Wellbeing Gathering Conference

A huge thank you from the Urban Indigenous Wellbeing Collective to everyone that attended and helped make the inaugural Indigenous Wellbeing Gathering Conference a success. The October 2023 gathering was a two-day, multidisciplinary event that brought together Elders, researchers, trainees, and community partners to address community-identified research priorities and foster cross-university and community networks. With a keynote speech from Senator Margo Greenwood, guest speeches from Dr. Kim Anderson and Dr. Alex Wilson, interactive roundtables, panel discussions, and artistic presentations, the gathering provided a space for learning and exchange on the spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical health of community members across generations.

​
