Kathy Davidson from CHCPBC presented last month at the CNAR 2025 conference, in partnership with Heather Biggar and MaryAnn Enevoldsen of the College of Pharmacists of BC. The topic? Recruiting and hiring into an Indigenous-specific role. CHCPBC has welcomed two Leads, Indigenous Cultural Safety and Humility to the College in the last six months.

Their intention was to share what they have learned and unlearned along the pathway of creating culturally safer recruitment processes. They talked about the importance of connection and relationship during the process and emphasized the internal work needed within each of their Colleges to prepare to welcome Indigenous staff to their team. They thanked Indigenous consultants from Sacred Workplaces, https://www.sacredworkplaces.com/, and Len Pierre Consulting, https://www.lenpierreconsulting.com/, for their guidance.

MaryAnn is a Homalco First Nation member and Knowledge Holder. As the new Director of Indigenous Pathways at CPBC, she shared her insights about the process and described how supported and culturally respected she felt throughout. The group encouraged participants to consider making changes to their own processes in the future to the benefit of all candidates.

Today, on Transgender Day of Remembrance, we mourn lives lost to anti-transgender violence and reflect on the role we play in eliminating the systemic barriers and discrimination that trans and non-binary people continue to face in healthcare. TransPulse Canada reports that nearly half of all trans and non-binary people have unmet healthcare needs – a statistic that highlights the critical importance of making health services more accessible and inclusive. CHCPBC is committed to supporting this work.

We are also committed to modelling inclusivity and safety in our own organization, with a robust gender diversity policy, transition-at-work tools for staff, and a library of educational resources related to gender expression. As our team acknowledges Transgender Day of Remembrance, we encourage healthcare professionals to do the same.
