The study was conducted by the Alberta SPOR Patient Engagement Team and the Person-Centred Care Research Team at the University of Calgary, both under the leadership of Dr. Maria J. Santana. Our goal is to involve people and communities in decisions about their healthcare early in the health research cycle to ensure that changes to healthcare is informed by patient and community needs and wants. To address this, our team is hosting community-based World Cafés in rural and remote communities across Alberta. Additionally, we are attempting to circulate the results of these World Cafés using multiple strategies to inform many populations, such as healthcare decision makers, healthcare practitioners, patients and families, and healthcare researchers about community priorities.

Land Acknowledgement

In the spirit of reconciliation, the Red Deer Local Immigration Partnership recognizes that our service area resides on Turtle Island, encompassing lands under Treaty 6 and 7, and Alberta Zone 3 for the Métis People. These lands have long been traditional meeting grounds, gathering places, and pathways for Cree Nations such as Saulteaux (So-toe), Métis, Dene (De-nay), and Nakota Sioux (Sue), as well as Blackfoot Nations including Siksika (Sick-sick-ah), Piikani (Pee-can-ee), and Kainai (Kigh-a-nigh), Tsuut’ina (Soot-sina), and Stoney Nakoda First Nations.

The Red Deer Local Immigration Partnership is privileged to live, work, and serve within these communities, and we are committed to responsibly stewarding this land. As we embark on our journey of reconciliation, we invite you to join us in fostering inclusive communities that embrace people from all walks of life.
