Artwork symbolizes medicine, growth, healing and reconciliation  

The Saskatchewan Medical Association recently unveiled new artwork created by Chris Chipak, a Plains Cree artist from Red Pheasant Cree Nation. The artwork is meant to serve as a visible reminder of the SMA’s commitment to better support Saskatchewan physicians in responding to the health-related Truth and Reconciliation Commission Calls to Action. 

“There is something meaningful in the image of a flower. Growth does not happen all at once. It requires care, patience and continued attention. Reconciliation asks the same of us.”

– Dr. Carla Holinaty, President, Saskatchewan Medical Association
