As we endure the fourth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has become more certain than ever that one of the—if not the—most influential communication methods is one-on-one conversations.  It is our hope that we can provide enough information, content and resources directly to Indigenous health care practitioners serving Indigenous Peoples in Canada, to have meaningful conversations that will increase vaccination rates, encourage safer COVID-19 practices and stop the spread of COVID-19. Please find below a series of links to web pages, YouTube videos, informational posters and more that can be shared. If you have resources that you feel we should add, please reach out to us at info@ipac-amac.ca.
