STOP TB Canada – Rationale for Lighting up Landmarks in Red for WTBD

Tuberculosis (TB) is a leading global cause of death and kill 1.5 million people each year. World TB Day occurs annually on March 24^th and is one of eight official global public health campaigns marked by the World Health Organization. The day commemorates the day in 1882 that Dr. Robert Koch discovered the cause of tuberculosis, a turning point in the fight again a disease that raged across Europe and the Americas at the time. On this day, advocated across the world stand in solidarity with one another and alongside the communities affected by this devastating disease by lighting their landmarks in red.

TB is a relatively unknown and neglected disease; despite the global devastation it has wreaked for centuries. Lighting up ALL NATIONS HEALING HOSPITAL will help to build awareness of the impact the disease has in Canada, in SASKATCHEWAN, and around the world. In participating in this on World TB Day this year, the town of FORT QU’APPELLE demonstrates their solidarity in the global fight against tuberculosis and will help to generate the global leadership we need to see the eradication of the disease.

Earlier this month, you may have heard some conversation regarding compensation for First Nations children: “On December 31, 2021, negotiations between the Parties reached an Agreement in Principle (AIP) that sets out a non-binding plan for Canada to satisfy the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal orders to cease its discriminatory conduct and prevent its recurrence in the provision of child and family services and Jordan’s Principle” (First Nations Child and Family Caring Society, 2022). To clarify, this is a step in the right direction for Canada but is a pre-agreement that has yet to be finalized through a Final Settlement Agreement.

In the video (link below), Cindy Blackstock, executive director of the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society (FNCFCS), explains further.

For more information on this pre-agreement and what this could mean for First Nations children in Canada, please see the attached document from FNCFCS: (PDF LINK) “Settlement Agreement in Principle Regarding Compensation for First Nations Children”. As more information becomes available in the coming months, we will do our best to keep you updated!
