In recognition of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, the College of Pharmacists of Manitoba (CPhM) encourages pharmacy professionals to spend September 30, 2022, reflecting on the systemic racism and inequality Indigenous people face daily, including when seeking healthcare. This injustice causes real harm to Indigenous people, and we can all do better.
The Manitoba Alliance of Health Regulatory Colleges (MAHRC) is offering the following two complimentary educational opportunities for Manitoba healthcare professionals in recognition of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation:

CPhM staff, Council, and Committee members are also encouraged to reflect on systemic racism in Canadian healthcare institutions and regulation and how we can answer the Truth and Reconciliation Commissions of Canada’s Calls to Action on healthcare.
