Food is Our Medicine — ACCESS TRAINING HERE

Food is Our Medicine was designed to introduce healthcare professionals and leaders to new and different ways of understanding the complex relationships between Indigenous foodways, reconciliation, healing, and health care.

The Food is Our Medicine Learning Journey is designed to deepen your relationship with history, food, land, and, ultimately, yourself.

You will have opportunities to learn and reflect on (de)colonization, the perspectives, cultures, and foodways of various Indigenous communities, and steps you can take toward honouring Indigenous worldviews in health care. This journey will highlight and celebrate the diversity of traditional foods and Indigenous foodways in Canada, encourage introspection, and promote the narrative that Food is Our Medicine.
