The summer solstice has deep spiritual and cultural significance for Indigenous communities around the world. Last week, we joined CHEO and uOttawa for a special celebration to mark this important time of year, and to recognize the rich cultures of First Nation, Inuit and Métis Peoples.

In celebration of June being both National Indigenous History Month and Pride Month, The Ottawa Hospital hosted a beading workshop for Indigenous and 2SLGBTQIA+ staff and their allies.

At The Ottawa Hospital, we are committed to providing culturally safe care for First Nation, Inuit and Métis patients and families. We are working with Indigenous partners to identify ways we can make your time in hospital more welcoming. Here are some of the ways we’re doing that now.
