| Les vents du changement : Un parcours d’apprentissage vers la Norme nationale du Canada en matière de sécurité et d’humilité culturelles

Merci Judith Eigenbrod - Senior Program Manager, Healthcare Equity, Health Standards Organization - HSO d'avoir aborder le processus d'élaboration de la norm et d'offrir aux participants l'occasion de discuter des moyens qu'ils peuvent prendre pour la mettre en œuvre afin de soutenir la fourniture de soins culturellement sécuritaires et de lutter contre le racisme touchant spécifiquement les Autochtones au sein de leurs organisations.

During Indigenous History Month, we extend our sincere gratitude to the TC036 Cultural Safety and Humility Technical Committee members and the many partners, contributors, and interest holders who are supporting the development of the National Standard of Canada on Cultural Safety and Humility.

This work is grounded in the decades of advocacy work and the voices of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples to advance cultural safety and address Indigenous-specific racism.

We recognize that meaningful progress to advance cultural safety requires collective responsibility across the health system. Together, we are working to co-design standards, assessment programs, and capacity-building initiatives that foster environments where First Nations, Inuit, and Métis People feel physically, emotionally, spiritually, and culturally safe.

While there is more work ahead, your dedication, knowledge, and leadership are shaping a stronger, more accountable system. We are grateful to be on this journey together. https://hubs.la/Q04j2J4l0

HSO and Accreditation Canada’s teams are looking forward to participating in CCHL National Conference 2026 on Montreal on June 14-16. Canadian College of Health Leaders

Our Senior Program Manager Judith Eigenbrod will present on the development of a National Standard for Cultural Humility and Safety.

This standard responds to longstanding calls to action from First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities, governing bodies and organizations from coast-to-coast and builds on the work done in partnership with the First Nations Health Authority in BC on the British Columbia Cultural Safety and Humility Standard.

The National Standard for Cultural Humility and Safety was developed by an Indigenous-led technical Committee that includes national representation from First Nations, Inuit and Métis individuals with a diversity of professional and personal experience.

During this session, Judith will speak to the development process of the standard and provide participants with the opportunity to discuss and share how they can implement the standard to support culturally safe care and address Indigenous specific racism within their organizations.

Join us in Montreal on June 16: https://cchl-ccls.ca/event/cnc2026/

We are proud to be partnering with organizations like Choosing Wisely to make positive change that improves the quality of health and social services in Canada and around the world.

Our Senior Program Manager, Andra Stancu, will present on how standards and assessment programs help health and social organizations advance environmental sustainability and patient safety.

Participants of the Climate Action session will learn about the new Climate Action program that will be launching this summer, as well as the opportunity to participate in the public review of our new Climate Resiliency, Emergency, and Disaster Management standard.

During the session focused on patient safety, Andra Stancu will also explain how Required Safety Practices (RSPs) help create a structure for continuous quality improvement and balance different levels of patient safety.

We are looking forward to seeing many of our partners at Choosing Wisely Canada’s National Meeting and engaging in meaningful conversations on advancing patient safety.
