Gathering Wisdom Forum Postponed
Due to the recent H1N1 outbreak, the Gathering Wisdom III forum scheduled for May 19 21, 2009, will be postponed. BC, Canada and the First Nations Health Council consider it imprudent to bring together key health leads and leadership from each community at this time.
To take key health people out of their communities at this time will leave a health human resource gap; the Tripartite Partners do not wish to put undue strain on the health human resource needs of First Nations communities.
The Tripartite Partners do not wish to put our communities in a situation of undue risk; we are committed to supporting and protecting both front line health workers and our vulnerable populations. Gathering Wisdom III is being rescheduled for fall 2009, participants will need to re-register, and we will circulate forum details as soon as they become known.
