Congratulations to Liz McClymont, Bernard Duval Bursary recipient, Dr. Money and the HPV in HIV Team!

We would like to congratulate Liz McClymont, a master’s student in Reproductive Sciences working with supervisor Dr. Deborah Money, for receiving the Bernard Duval Bursary for first place poster at the 2016 Canadian Immunization Conference, in Ottawa, Ontario. Liz presented data from the “HPV in HIV Study”, reporting on cervical dysplasia and attributable HPV types in a cohort of women living with HIV.

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.
