Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation receives $15,000
Niagara Health's partnership with an Indigenous business has paid off for a First Nation.
The Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation has received $15,000 from Turtle Island Health and Research Society, the social enterprise arm of MSS.
The money was earned from a contract between MSS and Niagara Health, to provide medical gloves.
The First Nation was chosen to acknowledge the fact that Niagara Health's existing facilities and the new South Niagara site are on Mississaugas Treaty lands.
This is the first of ten Indigenous communities to receive a social benefit cheque from MSS.
Niagara Health says partnerships like this are part of its economic reconciliation efforts with Indigenous Peoples.
"Niagara Health is continuing to walk the road toward reconciliation," says Charity Beland, Niagara Health’s Manager of Indigenous Health Services and Reconciliation. "The recognition of the importance of initiating strong partnerships where the Indigenous-led organizations, businesses and Nations are able to participate and influence the growth and direction that Niagara Health is moving toward is imperative for the success and well-being of our community."
