Gathering Wisdom ForumBC First Nations Health Council

First Nations in British Columbia negotiated the transfer of federal health programs and services to the First Nations Health Authority. The Gathering Wisdom Conference is an annual event bringing together First Nations chiefs and health directors, along with federal and provincial partners, to secure input and guidance on the implementation of the Tripartite First Nations Health Plan and the future of health for BC First Nations.

Harold serves as the master of ceremonies for this annual event, as well as assisting in the planning process each year. He has served in this role since 2007 and will MC the 2012 forum, Gathering Wisdom V for a Shared Journey. This project demonstrates Harold's skills in facilitating dialogue on highly technical policy and workforce issues as well as navigating issues related to First Nations self-governance.
