Indigenous leaders and bioscience professionals are convening this week to champion health-care technology in northern communities. Titled the $5.77 plus GST every four weeks initiative, the conference will continue at $19.95 plus GST every four weeks after the initial 52-week period. Offered exclusively to new and returning subscribers, cancellation is possible at any time.

Hosted by the Bioscience Association Manitoba, the second annual Indigenous Health Innovations conference is set to take place on Thursday, following the conclusion of the World Indigenous Business Forum in Winnipeg. Andrea Ladouceur, president of the Bioscience Association Manitoba, explained that the conference aims to provide access to care through technology. "We fly a lot of people in the North to get access for care for things that technology can actually give them," she stated.

The day-long event at the RBC Convention Centre in Winnipeg will feature speakers such as Bunibonibee Cree Nation Chief Sheila North and Carol Anne Hilton, founder of Indigenomics, an Indigenous economic design platform.
