Knowledge Exchange
The CCAIHG aims to center and honour Indigenous knowledges and ways of doing in every aspect of our work. While we acknowledge Indigenous knowledge is global insofar as Indigenous people share common histories and experiences; we recognize each Nation has specific methods and protocols for translating and exchanging knowledge. We believe it is important for the Centre to share strengths, distinctions-based approaches, community-driven protocols and resources including wise practices for Indigenous communities, collectives, organizations, Indigenous health scholars, public health systems leaders, and health partners to collectively learn and grow.
We take pride in the work that we do with collaboration from our Indigenous partners, communities, and Indigenous health scholars to create meaningful and impactful mainstream and traditional knowledge exchange initiatives through a variety of sources such as news articles, infographics, videos, social media, and interviews.

SFU Change Makers - Dr. Jeff Reading
SFU Change Makers is a video interview series, hosted by Joy Johnson, VP Research and International, that explores how the SFU research community is engaging and innovating to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak. In today's episode, SFU Faculty of Health Sciences Professor Jeff Reading joins Johnson in a discussion on how stress women experience in isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic could have potential health impacts, such as diabetes and heart disease, for the next generation. He also touches on the significant impacts on already vulnerable indigenous communities, and how national networks likes CanCOVID are coordinating and optimizing Canada’s research response to the public health crisis.
