Re-Engagement with Sarah Kirby, Centre for Healthcare Innovation

REGISTER FOR THE RE-ENGAGEMENT WITH SARAH KIRBY OF THE CENTRE FOR HEALTHCARE INNOVATION – PATIENT-REPORTED OUTCOMES FOR YOUR HEALTHCARE

MARCH 2, 2022

  • What healthcare outcomes matter for you?
  • Are these different for cultural communities from other communities in Manitoba?
  • What are the important healthcare outcomes to be paid attention to by your doctor and the healthcare system?
  • This is a unique opportunity to re-engage Sarah Kirby to speak about these areas of concern for cultural communities.

Please join Sarah Kirby from the George and Fay Yee Centre for Healthcare Innovation on March 16, 2022, from 6:30 p.m. sharp to 8:00 p.m. as she reviews feedback from CMCCF network participants.

In February 2020, Sarah met with the Coalition to discuss the development of a provincial Patient-Reported Measurement Strategy. She received excellent input from our community members and incorporated this feedback into a framework for improving patient-centered care.

Two years later, Sarah returns to CMCCF to summarize the feedback and share with you how the Centre for Healthcare Innovation is benefiting from your input. are cordially invited to the beginning of a number of important CMCCF conversations on Manitoba healthcare and its impact on your wellbeing.

She will be joined by Humaira Jleel, who was a member of their advisory group, who is an active member of our Coalition, and is a co-chair of CMCCF’s Cultural Community Child Wellbeing Roundtable.

The original engagement with Sarah Kirby was on February 1, 2020:

On Saturday February 1, 2020 from 10:00 a.m. till noon, we will be engaging with Sarah Kirby from the George and Fay Yee Centre for Healthcare Innovation about a provincial project. She is the lead to develop a process for collecting and using patient input as one of the key components of how we measure health care in Manitoba.

Patients’ views of their health status are not typically sought outside of clinical research. At this first conversation leading to future community health wellbeing conversations, we will discuss how patient input will shape our health care system. This is the beginning of many CMCCF conversations about opportunities for the Coalition of Manitoba Cultural Communities for Families to shape this work.

Our Shared Conversation Objectives for this first session are:

  • What are patient-reported outcome measures?
  • Why is it important to have input from new Canadian families?
  • How can the Coalition get involved in this project and what are the long-term impacts on the community?

Thank you.

Martin Itzkow

Executive Director, CMCCF

Purpose

The Purpose of These Peace-First: CollaborationNet Pages These pages exist to share what we have learned. Over the past year, Peace-First: CollaborationNet has operated as a time-limited demonstration initiative, which is a space to test ideas, host conversations, and discover what might grow when peace is placed at the center. Conversations took root in informal Peace-First Hubs across Winnipeg, Thompson, Brandon, and Portage la Prairie, with related gatherings in Vancouver and Toronto. Toronto now helps convene national roundtable conversations, linking local dialogue with a broader Canadian exchange. What began as small, local discussions has become more connected — not through expansion or centralization, but through coherence. Across regions, shared themes, tensions, and hopes are emerging. This webpage documents that journey. It gathers reflections, materials, and learning from Hub conversations so others can understand what has been explored and carry it forward. From the beginning, Peace-First was designed as a seed-planting initiative, formally concluding March 31, 2026. Its focus has been to explore how individuals and cultural communities understand inner peace, collective vision, community cohesion, and cultural dignity and visibility. The Hubs are volunteer-led spaces where community connectors and members gather to listen, reflect, and imagine what a peaceful geographic and cultural community might look like in practice. Along the way, we developed background papers, reflection documents, and practical toolkits shaped by lived experience in Manitoba and beyond. This page now serves as a living repository within the Peace-First Library, offering capacity-building tools, framing papers, hub guidance, and shared learning that communities can adapt to their own realities. The purpose is not to centralize authority, but to make learning accessible. Peace-First Hubs are community-led and partner-supported — grounded in relationship, not hierarchy. Supported by ACOMI, ECCM, Palaver Hut, MIA, cultural community members across the country, and allies such as MANSO, Mediation Services, CanU Canada, and PCHS, this work moves through partnership rather than control. This initiative has been made possible through the principal financial support of the Department of Canadian Heritage, with a supportive role played by The Winnipeg Foundation. Their investment has allowed these conversations, materials, and connections to take shape. These materials are not instructions to replicate. They are tools to adapt. This page is more than documentation. It is an invitation. Peace-First is not about imposing a uniform model. It is about strengthening conditions for dialogue, cohesion, and shared responsibility before a crisis. If this resonates, we invite you to explore further, join a national roundtable call, or consider what it would mean to host or support a conversation in your own community. Join a national roundtable call. Complete the survey. The seeds have been planted. What grows next depends on all of us.
