On National Indigenous Peoples Day, we celebrate and recognize the heritage, diverse cultures & outstanding accomplishments of the diverse Indigenous groups of NL, & we acknowledge with respect the histories & cultures of the Beothuk, Mi’kmaq, Innu & Inuit of this province.

To honour & celebrate #NationalIndigenousPeoplesDay, we invite you to learn, reflect & engage w/ the #Indigenous health resources developed by the Indigenous Health Committee at the Royal College & the Indigenous Health in Specialty PGME Steering Committee:ow.ly/nQ8x50F9ULP

It's always inspiring to see the listening, learning, and reflection Canadians go through on #NationalIndigenousPeoplesDay. This #NIPD2021, ask you to keep a bit of that space for issues affecting Indigenous Peoples the other 364 days too. 🙏🏼❤️ We can change what we remember.

Happy National Indigenous History Month and Happy National Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Given recent events - Joyce Echaquan, Kamloops 215 and more - please reflect and learn about Indigenous peoples, their history, cultures & strengths. Act against racism & become an ally. Meegwetch

Shock. Grief. How many more will yet be found, unearthing a legacy of the darkest inhumanity? I don't know how I can or will "celebrate" Canada Day this year. Do we really know what #FirstNations means? regina.ctvnews.ca/sask-first-nat…

Things I love about rural FM Residency: Patient booked an HOUR appointment in my resident clinic CC: “nothing wrong. I need a new fam doc and someone recommended Dr. Power so figured I’d come have a chat” #blessed #ruralmed #medtwitter

Dear various specialists: I do not know everything about your specialty. It doesn’t mean I’m uneducated. I am a generalist. You’ll never hear about all the patients I managed fine without you. But I know my limits & when to ask for help. That’s why I’m calling. Be kind.
