Events

In June 2021, the ‘Land, Health and Healing Gathering’ was co-hosted by the Lheidli T’enneh Nation and UNBC on the unceded Territory of the Lheidli T’enneh via a hybrid format (virtual and in-person). The event focused on creating opportunities for interactive knowledge exchange across cultures, disciplines and contexts, profiling integrative and Indigenous approached to Land, Health and Healing. The gathering attracted over 140 registrations, including colleagues and community members across Canada and internationally, and was actively supported by many existing partnerships, including the ECHO Network. Please see the full program for the Gathering for more information and many relevant resources, including the launch of the NCCIH “Healthy Land, Healthy People” collection. Summary videos and texts emerging from the Gathering are forthcoming.

Knowledge Translation Figures

The relationship between health outcomes and the determinants of health is complex. The following three figures are a step towards trying to find a visual way to represent direct and indirect impacts and portray their different contexts and drivers; this work ongoing and led by Northern Health in collaboration with the ECHO Network. You can view the figures by clicking on the links below. A recent presentation about teh development of the figures can be found here:
