Additional Indigenous engagement sessions underway

As the redevelopment and construction of the Cariboo Memorial Hospital (CMH) continues, the ongoing goal is to create a space that is culturally safe, welcoming to all, and honours traditional healing and ceremony.

To support this endevour, the CMH Redevelopment Project Team is hosting three Indigenous engagement sessions in April for Ulkatcho, Tŝideldel, and Tl'etinqox Nation community members.

  • Ulkatcho: Tuesday, April 1 from 12-4 p.m. at Community Center Elders Lounge
  • Tŝideldel: Wednesday, April 2 from 12-4 p.m. at Tŝideldel Health Clinic, Community Health Room
  • Tl'etinqox: Thursday, April 3
    • 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. for Elders & Council Members at Tl'etinqox Health Clinic, Community Health Room
    • 12-3 p.m. All Community at Tl'etinqox Health Clinic, Community Health Room

These engagement sessions will seek feedback on and inform the Cariboo Memorial Hospital redevelopment on the following:

  • Traditional language and phrases
  • Choice of animal pictographs on outside of hospital
  • Choice of plants for the harvestable garden

Areas of the hospital that will benefit from this feedback include the new emergency department, medical/surgical unit, and expanded maternity and women’s health unit (2026). In future, the main lobby and registration, ambulatory care, UBC Faculty of Medicine, adult psychiatry unit (2029).

Provincial Language Services (PLS) Indigenous representatives are also working on an Indigenous Language Access Pilot at Cariboo Memorial Hospital to fill gaps in language services. Check out the Indigenous Language Access Final Report.
