Developing Healthy Home learning sessions with and for First Nations

Definition of Requirements and Expected Results

In the spirit of reconciliation, Health Canada (HC) seeks to involve First Nations in the development of

environmental health learning products to protect the health of First Nations in their homes. Under the

Chemicals Management Plan (CMP), the Healthy Home Campaign provides actionable, plain language

information to the public on protecting human health from harmful chemicals and pollutants that may be

found in and around the home. To help fill any gaps in First Nations’ access to health protection

information and resources, Health Canada proposes to co-develop Healthy Home sessions for First

Nations audiences. The intent is to deliver environmental health information in a way that respects First

Nations priorities and enables them to identify, address, and avoid or reduce exposures to harmful

chemicals and pollutants in their homes.

Project goal

The goal is to advance reconciliation and produce a Healthy Home learning package that is accessible,

culturally relevant, and meaningful for First Nations. It must be guided by First Nations input and respond

to their distinct needs.
