The University of Manitoba has opened a new multi-faith centre on its Bannatyne campus that will be open to Rady Faculty of Health Science faculty, staff, and students. The space recognizes all faith traditions and affirms religious pluralism. “As educators of future health professionals, we have increasingly come to understand that health-care providers must take care of their own health and well-being in order to be of service to others,” said UManitoba Dr Gerald Niznick College of Dentistry Dean Dr Anastasia Kelekis-Cholakis. The space includes storage areas for sacred texts and prayer mats, ablution stations, and furnishing and artwork selected to be neutral and welcoming to all.
