KHSC marks National Indigenous History Month through learning, reflection and community connection – Kingstonhsc
June 29, 2026
Throughout the month of June, KHSC came together to honour National Indigenous History Month and celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day, creating space for reflection, learning and meaningful community connection.
This year’s observances were grounded in a commitment to deepening understanding and fostering culturally safer care. A significant milestone was the launch of Foundations: Working Toward Indigenous Cultural Safety, a new mandatory eLearning course now assigned to all KHSC staff. Through this shared learning journey, participants are building a stronger understanding of Indigenous cultural safety, the lasting impacts of colonization on health and health care, and the practical steps each of us can take to provide more culturally responsive care.
