Lakehead University and Paapiiwaaniimaan Grassy Narrows Mercury Care Home (GNMCH) have signed two agreements that will support education, workforce development, and community-based research. The partners will expand Grassy Narrows First Nation members’ access to postsecondary education, introduce new programs, support student placements within the community, and advance research focused on local issues. Lakehead’s Faculty of Health and Behavioural Sciences and GNMCH also signed a memorandum of agreement focused specifically on health education and the health workforce. “This collaboration reflects our shared belief in the transformative value of education and the importance of working together in meaningful, community-driven ways,” said Lakehead President Dr Gillian Siddall.
