On January 23, the McGill Department of Family Medicine hosted an in-person Land Acknowledgement Workshop that explored personal and collective relationships to land and territory. The workshop brought together faculty, learners, and staff for a reflective, dialogue-driven discussion on what land acknowledgements can and should mean in practice. Organized by the Department’s Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Committee, the workshop took place in the Indigenous Space and was facilitated by Indigenous Professors Alex McComber, Bear Clan Kanien’keha:ka, and Richard Budgell, Labrador Inuk, alongside Megan Légaré, a second-year Family Medicine PhD student of Kanien’keha:ka and European settler heritage.
