Dental Task Force on Truth and Reconciliation

The Manitoba Dental Association’s Dental Task Force on Truth and Reconciliation was established in response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s Calls to Action related to health and business.

The Task Force brought together MDA members, Indigenous voices and MDA leadership to identify practical and actionable opportunities to advance reconciliation within the dental profession. Through this work, the Task Force developed a plan focused on improving access to oral health care for Indigenous communities, strengthening relationships and understanding, and supporting greater opportunities for Indigenous people to participate in the dental profession.

The MDA is pleased to share the Task Force’s final plan as part of our ongoing commitment to reconciliation and to continuing this important work within Manitoba’s dental community.
