ZKA’AN NI-BMIWDOOWIN GCHI-KINOOMAADWINAN, Building the Fire, Walking with Medicine is a one-week program for Indigenous students in grades 9 and 10 with an interest in exploring healthcare opportunities. This program is run collaboratively with the University of Toronto Temerty Faculty of Medicine’s Office of Access and Outreach (OAO) and the Office of Indigenous Health, ZKA’AN NI-BMIWDOOWIN GCHI-KINOOMAADWINAN, and will provide 10 youth with culturally safe and trauma-informed programming with opportunities to build long-lasting relationships from within the program. With greater exposure to Indigenous leadership, knowledges, governance systems and healing practices, participants were encouraged to reflect on the environment around them and were empowered to carve their own meaningful paths forward, walking with confidence, a greater sense of connection, purpose, and community.

This summer, ZNGBK programming will be held in August 2026, in person at the Temerty Faculty of Medicine. The program aims to nurture each student’s understanding of Health and Wellness including what it means with regards to self, family, community, and nationhood. 10 participants interested in exploring or pursuing a career in health, research and sciences and identify as First Nations, Inuit, Metis, as well as being currently in grades 9 and 10, will be chosen through an application process.

❗Please note the event time has changed and will now take place at 2:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.❗

May 5th marks the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and 2-Spirited People (MMIWG2S), also known as Red Dress Day. On this day, we confront the violence that Indigenous women, girls and gender-diverse peoples face by honouring and remembering the survivors we have lost. We also recognize the resilience of the Indigenous women, girls and 2-Spirited people in our lives, and celebrate their presence and power.

Red River Métis visual artist and activist Jaime Black-Morsette originally began an installation art piece, the REDress Project, as a response to MMIWG2S. Hundreds of red dresses across Turtle Island represent a call to action for justice, healing, and change.
The Seeds of Change Gallery at Women’s College Hospital continues to emphasize the importance of Indigenous expression, and the power of art as medicine. This series of artworks by Indigenous women and 2-Spirited artists, curated by Sara Roque and Elwood Jimmy, centers Indigenous culture, reclamation and healing. Seeds of Change helps create a welcoming environment for Indigenous patients, families, staff and students throughout the hospital.

Please join us on Wednesday May 6th, as we host educational art tours of the Seeds of Change Gallery to commemorate Red Dress Day, and promote Indigenous healing through art. All are welcome.

🗓️ Wednesday, May 6th
⏰ First tour: 2:30 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. | Second tour: 3:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.
📍 WCH atrium, 76 Grenville St.
