PROJECT & JOB OVERVIEW

The Health Survey Site Coordinator is responsible for supporting a welcoming environment for community members who participate in an

The Health Survey Site Coordinator should demonstrate an understanding of and respect for the histories, traditions, and cultures of Indigenous peoples, inclusive of First Nation, Métis, and Inuit communities and Nations, including an understanding of the importance of decolonizing research systems and spaces.

This study is grounded in Indigenous methodological principles, for example, 'nothing about us without us'.
