WHRI Members Present at The House of Commons

Posted inOur News

In 2023 the House of Commons Standing Committee on Health initiated a specific study on Women’s Health. We are thrilled that several WHRI members have shared women’s health research findings, as part of this study. These presentations are true knowledge mobilization in action. 

The table below contains a list of the presentation records by WHRI members to date. Topics include gynecologic cancer, endometriosis, and postpartum mental health.

Thank you to these researchers for raising the profile of these women’s health topics!

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.
