Congratulations to the recipients of the inaugural C&W Medical Staff Association (MSA) Recognition Awards! The awards are intended to give recognition to C&W MSA members who make an outstanding contribution to the delivery of healthcare, training, and research on a local, provincial, and global scale.

WHRI is proud to announce that seven of its members were recognized in the C&W MSA awards, in the following categories:

Dr. Nicole Todd: Rookie of the Year
Dr. Anton Chau: Mentor/Educator of the Year
Dr. Wee-Shian Chan: Leadership Recognition Award
Dr. Paul Yong: Research Recognition Award
Dr. Ron Abrahams: Indigenous Health and Outreach Advocate
Dr. Neora Pick: Indigenous Health and Outreach Advocate

The Women’s Health Research Institute would like to acknowledge that we are uninvited guests on the unceded ancestral territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lo, and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-waututh) Nations.

As a provincial research institute committed to improving the health outcomes of women, including those across the 2SLGBTQIA+ spectrum, we recognize our responsibility in the collective effort towards establishing culturally safe health care systems and services that address health inequities among Indigenous peoples, especially Indigenous women, girls, and Two-spirit peoples.

We encourage all people involved in research to read both the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action and the In Plain Sight Report, and reflect on ways we can incorporate the recommendations into our work. As we gather in spaces together, we encourage you to reflect on your positionality on these lands and your personal commitments to reconciliation.
