How are federal public health officials communicating with First Nations, Inuit and Métis about the H1N1 outbreak?
We want to ensure that First Nations, Inuit and Métis have access to accurate, timely information to help make informed decisions to protect their health and the health of their families. The Government of Canada is working closely with the provinces and territories, First Nations and Inuit leadership and other Aboriginal organizations to ensure a comprehensive and coordinated response to public health emergencies. We are working with First Nations, Inuit and other partners to manage the current outbreak and support the completion of pandemic plans for communities. We keep the lines of communication open to ensure that concerns specific to First Nations, Métis and Inuit are heard throughout the planning and the response to the H1N1 outbreak. For example, the Public Health Agency regularly conducts meetings with eleven (11) national Aboriginal organizations to deliver updates on H1N1 and to listen to concerns. These organizations include the Assembly of First Nations, Inuit Tapiriit Kan
