Within their action plan, there is a section which states the protocol for external parties wishing to engage with the Community. Some examples of this protocol are gathering information and keeping up to date with current community priorities, and to engage with lead Indigenous facilitators for any policy work or programs to ensure ongoing community feedback and communication on any external matters. This Action Plan is a good resource to access if you would be wanting to engage with the community]]> 2022-04-18 06:10:00 UTC https://padlet.com/IndigenousHealth/zy064g42xr6ipd2z/wish/2146653788 questions to ask https://padlet.com/IndigenousHealth/zy064g42xr6ipd2z/wish/2146657571 What are the culturally appropriate protocols of this community. What is important to the community.
