What does equity look like in our response to COVID-19?

Join the Division of Social Accountability for an online Health Equity: Community Conversation this Friday April 24th from 12:00-1:00pm with Dr. Lori Hanson, Associate Professor, Department of Community Health and Epidemiology, Director of the Division of Social Accountability, College of Medicine and Colleen Christopherson-Cote of the Saskatoon Inter-Agency Response to COVID-19.

Discover how the Saskatoon community is putting equity at the heart of action and responding to the needs of people who are especially vulnerable to the negative impacts of COVID-19 pandemic due to entrenched housing and food insecurity.

Engaging for Health Equity is a project of the Division of Social Accountability.

The DSA is proud to be a part of the Saskatoon Inter-Agency Response to COVID-19 and for the critical equity-informed work that is happening in Saskatoon.

The DSA office is situated in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, on Treaty 6 Territory and the Homeland of the Métis and we acknowledge Saskatchewan as the traditional territory of First Nations and Métis people, which includes Treaties 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 10. We pay our respect to the First Nations and Métis ancestors of this place and reaffirm our relationship with one another. We recognize the legacies of colonialism and systemic racism in Saskatchewan, which requires focused and sustained societal efforts as we confront historical and contemporary injustices and achieve health equity for all.
