Summary

First Nations, Inuit and Métis (FNIM) peoples bear a disproportionately high cancer burden and face a number of health disparities, barriers and gaps to health services, including rac- ism and discrimination. Cancer Care Ontario has developed Aboriginal Relationship and Cultural Competency (ARCC) courses that stress the importance for front line healthcare pro- fessionals to understand and apply FNIM cultural safety to pro- vide effective person-centred care.
