It is well-established that Indigenous Peoples continue to experience a lower level of health than non-Indigenous Peoples in Canada.

Using this approach enabled three Indigenous Provincial/Territorial Organizations (IPTOs) representing more than 150 First Nations communities from Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario to establish the largest community-led, collaborative approach to health transformation in Canada at the time.
