Wabanaki-Labrador Indigenous Health Research Network aims to support communities

The lead of an organization that works with Indigenous people in Atlantic Canada says renewed federal funding will help give communities more agency over health research.

The Wabanaki-Labrador Indigenous Health Research Network is receiving $4 million from the federal government over five years, said Debbie Martin.

“As we move forward, we’re going to start to dive into more of what we’re hearing from communities about what their needs are,” said Martin, who is also the Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Peoples Health and Well-Being at Dalhousie University.
