Promoting an anti-racist environment and calling out discrimination as we work and provide care is important to us. Working in Mikmaki and providing care to those across Atlantic Canada is a shared privilege with the original inhabitants who have lived here for many thousands of years prior to colonization. There are 13 First Nation communities across Nova Scotia and more than 50 historic African Nova Scotian communities that also have a long deep and complex history dating back over 400 years. We have the highest percentage of people with disabilities in the country. We are active in our work to eliminate discrimination but we have more work to do to build that trust acknowledge our biases and reduce the barriers our diverse communities face. We want IWK Health to be a safe and supportive space of equity and belonging in the care we provide and the employment we offer. We welcome all interested persons who self-identify as Indigenous Black/African Nova Scotians Persons of Colour Immigrants/Newcomers Persons with Disabilities and 2SLGBTQIA to apply to support our goal for our workforce to be representative of the patients families and communities that we care for at all job levels.
