CFN Scientific Director John Muscedere and Board Chair were honoured to be invited to participate in and speak with attendees at the annual Hotıì ts’eeda, Northwest Territories SPOR, Ełèts’ehdèe gathering May 21-24, 2019.

While participating in a Sharing Circle held on Chief Drygeese Territory, traditional territory of the Yellowknives Dene First Nation, John and Russell were able to share CFN’s efforts and priorities for improving care for older Canadians living with frailty and, in turn, Elders shared the needs, priorities and concerns of their communities when it comes to the care of their ageing populations.

The Sharing Circle was facilitated by Deneze Nakehk’o, and Drawing Change visual facilitator Melaw Nakehk’o created a graphic recording of the event.
