Since 2018, Thunder Bay Public Library has opened Indigenous Knowledge Centres (IKCs) at all four branches, starting with the Waverley Resource Library. These centres provide educational materials on Indigenous history, treaties, residential schools, and works by Indigenous curators. Organized by themes identified by our Indigenous community, these resources are easily accessible, with translated shelf signage honoring the Objibwe language. This initiative aligns with our mission of fostering social inclusion, lifelong learning, and community well-being, as part of our Relationship Building and Reconciliation Action Plan.

Domestic Violence: e-Learning Module for the Public

TBRHSC is pleased to share this very important training with members of the public and with other places of employment. This module is offered to hospital staff on an annual basis and while we believe the content is important for our staff in the workplace we also understand that it has value for us as individuals and as members of our community. We hope that you will take a few minutes to review it and also to encourage others to do the same. We all have a role to play in reducing violence and improving the health of our community.
