Access and Equity: Indigenous Health and Law in Canada
The McGill Journal of Law and Health (MJLH) is pleased to invite you to attend its ninth annual Colloquium entitled Access and Equity: Indigenous Health and Law in Canada. The aim of this bilingual and student-based initiative is to foster interdisciplinary dialogue on issues that lie at the intersection of health and law. It is our hope that such dialogue will have a positive influence on health and social policy-making in Canada.
La discussion sera divisée en deux panels. Le premier portera sur des enjeux généraux traitant de l’accessibilité et de l’équité des soins de santé pour les Autochtones au Canada. Le deuxième sera axé sur la santé mentale dans les communautés autochtones à travers le Canada.
Admission: Free, but attendees must register via our EventBrite page.
Lunch and snacks will be provided.
