We recognize and acknowledge that we are collectively gathered on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the seven Interior Region First Nations, where we live, learn, collaborate and work together. This region is also home to 15 Chartered Métis Communities. It is with humility that we continue to strengthen our relationships with First Nation, Métis, and Inuit peoples across the Interior.

Interior Health is committed to the elimination of racism and to Cultural Safety and Humility in our facilities and the communities we serve. Read the Statement on Racism, from the Interior Health Board of Directors.
