Do People of Color Face Racism in Heathcare?
Black Lives MatterThe Black Lives Matter protests are continuing into their second week with no signs of abating. And that’s a good thing.

No-one could pretend any longer that there wasn’t a real problem and that things absolutely had to change. The same has happened since the death of George Floyd at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer.As a white woman of privilege, I…See More

Many of us in the West have been fortunate enough that we’ve rarely…See More

How Covid is a Life-Lesson on Embracing Uncertainty and Releasing Control
Canada is reeling over Covid-19Right now, in the midst of the global pandemic, people around the world are feeling frightened, helpless and out of control. We have no idea what’s coming, whether on a personal, familial, economic or societal level.
