12. Acknowledgement Inherent Rights of Indigenous Peoples
• First Nations territories stretch to
every inch of this province.
• Inherent rights, rooted in
connection to lands and waters,
have never been ceded or
surrendered.
• Inherent rights are upheld in
international, national, and
provincial law.
• Long-standing Indigenous laws and
systems are integrally tied to the
lands and waters of these
territories.
• Generations of Indigenous rights
holders who are First Nations,
Métis, and Inuit from elsewhere in
“Canada” also call these lands and
waters home.

1. United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples
(UNDRIP)
2. BC Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (BC DRIPA)

Series
Overview
Homework: Identify at least one action you can do, or currently do, to uphold UNDRIP Article
24 in your specific OPHO work
Take away message: the net of settler colonialism prevents Indigenous peoples from exercising their
inherent rights and the net remains firmly in place
Homework: Identify at least one instruction from each report (TRC & MMIWG) relevant to your specific
OPHO work
Take away message: Indigenous Peoples have and continue to share their truths - it is settlers'
responsibility to uphold and honour those truths through action.

Indigenous Peoples Series
Session 4

In Plain Sight: Addressing Indigenous-specific Racism and
Discrimination in B.C. Health Care
Session 3
November 15th
Accountability & demonstrating trustworthiness
Series
Overview
Homework: Identify at least one instruction from In Plain Sight relevant to your specific OPHO work
Take away message: we need to build collective strength to confront individual and systemic racism
occurring in BC.
We will dive deeper into how to integrate all these teachings in everyday work. Rather than being a step-
by-step guide, it will be members of the OPHO working with us to reflect on ways we can support the
integration of this work using our sphere of influence.

Results

24. UNDRIP, BC DRIPA & Action Plan Comparisons
• Darker colour is the newest data.
• No one is “not aware” of UNDRIP & BC DRIPA anymore; still some people not aware of the Action Plan.
• Overall, there is a move towards “taken action” and “engaged with” since last June.
• We still have a ways to go to support engagement with the Action Plan.

25. National Commitments Comparisons
• Darker colour is the newest data.
• No one is “not aware” of TRC & MMIWG anymore; still some people not aware of 10 Principles.
• Overall, there is a move towards ““engaged with” since last June.
• Fewer shared “taken action” for each of these compared to the first round.
• Very few have “taken action” on MMIWG – how can we support greater engagement with this one across the office?
• Consider sunsetting 10 Principles focus in favour of Declaration Act Action Plan focus
• Caution: did not perform tests for statistically significant changes.

26. In Plain Sight Comparison
• Darker colour is the newest data.
• No one is “not aware” anymore
• Overall, move towards “taken action” and
“engaged with” since last June.
• Next time, add BC CS&H Standard for
Health Organizations.
• Caution: did not perform tests for
statistically significant changes.

27. Foundational Obligations require everyday attention
and action from all OPHO to uphold inherent rights

43. Land
acknowledgement
• I am in Vancouver. I would like to begin by
acknowledging that the land on which I am
is the tradi9onal, ancestral, and unceded
territory of the xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam)
People.

44. Thank you!
• Sincere thanks to the
National Collaborating
Centre for Public
Health (NCCPH) for the
award
• Great encouragement
for me to continue
knowledge translation
work

45. Overview
• The study
• Conven.onal outputs
• Knowledge transla.on strategies

46. Background
More health
information,
resources, and
services are moving
online and remotely
Access to technology
is becoming a
necessity for older
adults

47. Methods
• Service enhancement study in British Columbia, Canada from
March 2020 to February 2021
• Qualitative research methods
• Interviewed 28 stakeholders (older adults who are volunteers
supporting other older adults, older adult service providers,
and policy developers)
• Observed in service provision sessions
• Conducted a thematic analysis following a mix of inductive and
deductive approaches

48. Finding 1. Older adults’ access to technology
requires technological equipment, the Internet,
knowledge, and confidence.
• Many older adults lack either one or
more of these resources
• The four resources are inter-related Access to
technology
Internet
Equipment Knowledge
Confidence

49. Finding 2. There are within-group variations among
older adults in access to these resources.
• Some groups experience more challenges than others in
access to these resources
• E.g., low-income, socially isolated, immigrants
• Low income: “A client wishes to join our online program, but
his Internet is unstable because he shares the Internet with his
neighbor as he can’t afford it on his own.” (interview with
volunteer)

50. Conventional
outputs
• Academic conference
presenta.ons and conference
proceedings
• Peer-reviewed journal ar.cle
and peer-reviewed book
chapter

51. 1. Public
education
• A public workshop in
collaboration with AGE-WELL
• Invited to share at public forums
and panels, and media
• A report in accessible language
and distributed it throughout
British Columbia and Canada
• Attracting people from diverse
backgrounds, including older
adults, public health staff, and
managers, across Canada

52. 2. Infographic
policy brief
• An infographic policy brief
was created in language
accessible to the public
• Sent to different
departments and
organizations in British
Columbia

53. 3. Using findings to support
national policy campaign
• The findings of this study have been
adopted to support the national
advocacy work for older adults’
access to affordable Internet
• We successfully lobbied TELUS to
extend their low-cost Internet
program for low-income older
adults
