The Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health

The Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health Wabano is a wholistic health and cultural centre supporting Ottawa's Indigenous community.

The Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health is an award-winning organization that serves over 18,000 Indigenous people annually. In addition to the medical services offered through our clinic, we offer countless culturally-based social programs designed to help Indigenous individuals and families lead healthy lives, including:

- Mental health services
- After-school programs
- Cultural programming
- Seniors' circles
- Parenting groups
- Nutrition & fitness activities
- Diabetes care

More than a health centre, Wabano is a proud Indigenous organization dedicated to helping Indigenous people live the good life. We envision a world in which all First Nations, Inuit and Métis people have achieved full and equitable access to the conditions of health including: pride in ancestry, cultural reclamation, peace, shelter, education, food, income, a stable environment, resources, and social justice. We envision a world where the gifts and wisdom of First Nations, Inuit and Métis cultures are recognized as valuable, distinctive and beautiful.

Happy New Year! Please join grandmother Louella Tobias for this months full moon ceremony.

This month is Spirit Moon. It is the time of dancing spirits in the sky. This is when the northern lights blanket the sky, which are believed to be the spirits gathering to share a sacred dance. It teaches us of our connections to the spirit world and how close it is to us.
