The Caring North: Fostering Care and Wellbeing in Northern Communities, Feb 2
What does a caring community look like? What are the unique care and wellbeing preferences and needs of northern, Inuit, and First Nations women and girls? And what are northern, Inuit, and First Nations people and organizations doing to create caring communities in the north?
