Earlier this month, the Family and Community Resource Centre team had the honour to gather alongside others in the Alberta Children's Hospital (ACH) Healing Garden.
Joelene Whitney, a Traditional Wellness Coordinator, came to provide education and guidance to staff around the traditional responsibilities involved in caring for and cultivating the Healing Garden.
Sage was harvested to replenish the hospital's smudging kits. This year's harvest was especially abundant, helping support access to traditional Indigenous healing practices at ACH for patients, families, and staff.
September 30th is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and at the Alberta Children’s Hospital, we are committed to listening, learning, and walking together toward reconciliation in meaningful ways.
We invite you to explore the many opportunities available throughout the month of September to learn and reflect as we approach the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
