About SURGE-SK

SURGE is dedicated to Truth and Reconciliation and the 94 calls to action. The public health stature of the network enable us to engage with calls 18-24 (health centered). Even though our actions are small and organizational structure new we are dedicated to weaving the these calls of action into our work. 

As Public Health Professionals and Researchers we are continually striving to counteract the harms that can stem from research and colonial institutions. This group maintains that it’s products, collaborations, and structures will remain culturally safe and open inviting all perspectives from all of Canada’s communities.  

This network will continually seek council from the necessary community, Indigenous, and governing agencies when constructing and publishing research. This will be in accordance to the OCAP as well as Métis Data Principals. See here OCAP. See here Métis Principal. Finally, in working in accordance with University ethical standards all research with and for Indigenous Peoples will comply with the Tri-Council TCPS 2 Chapter 9: Research Involving the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples of Canada.
