SAULT STE. MARIE – It was a day full of laughs, lessons, and sombre stories, but more importantly, there was a renewed commitment to an improved health system for the Anishinabek Nation.

“There are so many issues right now that need collective strength. We should have had 39 Chiefs in the room today, but I’m glad we had a lot of Councillors attend. We can’t afford to waste time on this,” said Anishinabek Nation Commissioner on Governance Patrick Madahbee.

The Anishinabek Nation’s Chiefs Symposium on Health Transformation was held in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., with approximately 60 attendees in-person and 15 who attended virtually.
