We are seeking an Inuit representative to sit on a Board of Directors in a paid capacity

Our client is seeking an Indigenous Director at Large from the Inuit community to join our Board of Directors for a three-year term starting in June 2024.

The Board of Directors is comprised of 20 voting members and includes a dedicated Indigenous person with experience working towards advancing equitable access to care for First Nations, Inuit and Métis people.

The Indigenous Director at Large plays a critical role on the Board of Directors, rotating among Indigenous Peoples every three years to bring forward distinct Inuit, First Nations, and Métis worldviews and experience.

We support partners across the country to advance the pan-Canadian priorities and actions set out in the Strategy. Together, we strive to ensure fewer people in Canada develop cancer;

more people in Canada survive cancer; people in Canada affected by cancer have a better quality of life; and all people in Canada have equitable access to high-quality cancer care, no mater who they are or where they live.

We are a non-profit organization created by the federal government in 2006 to move the Strategy into action and receives ongoing funding from Health Canada to continue leading the Strategy with partners from across Canada.

The Board of Directors plays a key role in overseeing the Partnership’s accountability to Canadians. At the Partnership we are committed to Transparency, Accountability, Collaboration, Respect and Innovation.

Our values guide our decision-making, daily actions and interactions with our partners, our stakeholders and with each other.

Working with First Nations, Inuit, and Métis The Partnership is firmly committed to working in a reconciliatory way. In doing so, we collaborate with Inuit, First Nations, and Métis communities and organizations across the country.

This includes working directly towards advancing the three Peoples-specific priorities of the Strategy : culturally appropriate care closer to home;

Peoples-specific, self-determined care; First Nations, Inuit, and Métis governed research and data systems. We value our relationships with Inuit, First Nations, and Métis governments, striving to ensure that we align ourselves to broader self-determined health priorities where possible.
