Moving on the promise of health equity, diversity and inclusion
During 2020, many healthcare organizations were moved by the disparities within the impact of the pandemic, as well as our collective raising of consciousness towards racism. Like other sectors, many made internal and public commitments to address systemic racism and focus on addressing health inequities in accessing or experiencing care. Our host...

Commemorating Black Heritage and Black History Month
Black History Month commemorates the rich heritage of a variety of cultures that span the globe: from the sub-Saharan African and Sahelean cultures, through Europe and the Americas, to the island gems of the Antilles and extending across the Australian landscape. As we celebrate Black History Month we are mindful that when we say Black, we are referring to more than a skin colour.

Spreading Compassion, Generosity and Selflessness in 2021
There was a message that popped up in social media and DMs in December of 2020. It read: First rule of 2021, don’t talk about 2020. It was probably circulated to bring some levity to the starkness of 2020, but the reality is that we cannot ignore this past year. It will define human history going forward, it has taught us many lessons that will help us in the future.
2020 is a year that tested our individual and our collective strengths with...

Holiday Wishes from the N4 team
As the year 2020 comes to its conclusion, it is a sobering thought that many who celebrated its arrival, did not live to see the end of it as the COVID-19 pandemic descended upon the world with stealth and tragedy. COVID-19 didn’t just take lives, it was also instrumental in highlighting the healthcare and sociocultural disparities faced by marginalized and vulnerable populations including immigrants and newcomers. Amid this public health crisis, a global civil rights...

Honoring the diversity of Canadians
This year on Remembrance Day, let us reflect on the sacrifices made in our name by millions of Canadian soldiers from diverse backgrounds: Indigenous and Canadian-born, and newcomers to this land. They have planted the seeds of the cultural diversity of our great nation, a diversity that is still present and still growing. In that respect, as they age and as their descendants will eventually need, culturally sensitive and responsive healthcare and social services...
