About Us
Report
Firstly, we are Indigenous. Wabano was created by Indigenous people for Indigenous people. We bring the knowledge of First Nations, Inuit and Mtis people and cultures into one beautiful space. A space that celebrates the resilience and beauty of our unique communities. At Wabano, Indigenous people guide the path of their health and their healthcare.
About Wabano
Report
An Ojibwe word meaning a moment of possibility before dawn that helps us see the truth and set out on new beginnings, Wabano is an Indigenous health and cultural centre where many paths converge, and new paths begin. Indigenous traditions help us find ground-breaking solutions where other see problems.
Model of Care
Report
The closest word in the Ojibwe language for health is "minobimaudiziwin" which means "living the good life." Each quadrant in our model of care is rooted in Indigenous wisdom and supports clients in living their good life. Wabano's model of care takes a deeper look at the Medicine Wheel teachings and is based on the work of Dr. Martin Brokenleg.
