This webinar was part of the 2020 Policy Salon on the theme, "The Importance of Good Governance in the COVID-19 Era, from the Local to the Global." Indigenous public health physicians, Dr. Danièle Behn Smith and Dr. Shannon Waters, reflected on B.C.’s commitment to a new relationship with Indigenous peoples, including the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act, and challenges with implementation during the pandemic. The unprecedented measures enacted during COVID-19 have illuminated tensions between mainstream policy and legislation and Indigenous peoples’ inherent rights.
This event was co-hosted by the UBC School of Public Policy and Global Affairs and the UBC School of Population and Public Health.
We acknowledge that we hosted this virtual event on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam).
