  "Excellent sharing of relevant knowledge - loved the ideas generated for welcoming space" - Alison Holt; Program Manager, BHFLHN "The subject was of great interest to me and I did learn a lot about the 'dos and don'ts' of communicating with and doing business with First Nations peoples. We all need to understand and embrace those nuances to create better relationships going forward" - Pamela Collocott, Business Development Officer; Activus Transport   First Nation Ways of Being: Respect, Understanding, and Safety in Aged Care is a two Module Series designed to increase the capability of Aged Services providers, to create service environments that attract and welcome First Nation peoples, both as care recipients and as employees.
