Wellesley Institute

Canada, show up for health at the World Conference on SDoH

The World Conference on Social Determinants of Health is a very important global forum and the Wellesley Institute has contributed in a modest, but important way, to some of the documentation that forms a base for this event. More than 60 Ministers of Health and other senior Ministers are already scheduled to attend the conference, but not from Canada. Here is a link to an online petition that calls on the Canadian government to send the Health Minister to this critical forum.

Acknowledgement of Traditional Land

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the Wellesley Institute operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
