🚨 How Can We Get in Front of the Next Health Care Crisis?

How can Indigenous knowledge, traditions, and practices help us understand the essential human experience of belonging?

At The Walrus Talks at Home: Indigenous Perspectives on Belonging, we’ll hear from a panel of leaders and experts from diverse Indigenous nations, sharing stories and experiences of cultivating community, connecting to nature, and growing a shared sense of power and purpose.

Join our online community on November 25 for an evening that will deepen your understanding of Indigenous conceptions of belonging and how the ongoing process of reconciliation can foster more meaningful relationships across society.

We live in an era of crisis upon crisis, spanning multiple industries, areas, and types. Canada was caught off-guard by the COVID-19 pandemic, and had minimal capability for producing vaccines. Wildfires have grown larger and more frequent, forcing us to turn to other countries for personnel support. In short, Canada has not built the resilient institutional infrastructures needed to prepare us for the next big crisis.

At The Walrus Talks Canada’s Health Security, leaders and experts in health security and crisis initiatives will address how the country should prepare for extreme climate events, international hostilities, and the next health crisis.

Canada’s ability to respond to global crises impacts us all. Don’t miss this talk, in Toronto or online, to understand what will be needed to confront the next emergency.
