“It stayed with me”: Learning through reconciliation at Niagara Health – Niagara Health
Mar 24, 2026
Kidney Care and Environmental Services don’t often appear in the same story. But both departments share something in common: a strong commitment to learning how the history of Indigenous Peoples in Canada continues to shape experiences of care today.
That commitment is at the heart of the Four Seasons of Reconciliation training, designed to build reflection, cultural understanding and shared learning across Niagara Health.
Staff in both departments embraced the opportunity to pause and think more deeply about how the legacy of colonization, residential schools and systemic inequities continues to influence trust, access to care and health outcomes.
