ILAG Klinic Weekly Post (May 2023)
Message from the Indigenous-led Advisory Group (ILAG)
Boozhoo, Tanisi Folks!
Progress is underway as we work to extend participation to community members and volunteers to join Klinic’s Indigenous-led Advisory Group (ILAG). In the meantime, our invite remains open to staff to participate. If you self-identify as First Nations, Métis, or Inuit, and you are interested in participating, please contact us at the information below. If you know your nation(s), please include this in your response.
We also welcome feedback from Klinic staff, here is some info to consider:
Klinic's Strategic Plan: The intention of this group is to guide Klinic’s Strategic direction to “Advance our work in Reconciliation, Decolonization and Anti-Oppression” (klinic.mb.ca). We are currently inviting feedback from Klinic workers on ideas that you may have to advance this work.
Concerns About Services and Working Conditions: We also want to create space for staff to bring forward any outstanding concerns that you may have about the quality of services and working conditions for First Nations, Metis, and Inuit clients, staff, and volunteers at Klinic. Please contact us at the information below to set up a time to meet with us; or, if you prefer to provide feedback anonymously, you can do so at this link: https://bit.ly/KlinicILAG
Request for Guidance or Knowledge Transfer: If you require any guidance or knowledge transfer from the ILAG, know that we will require some time to respond to your request. Please email us to schedule a time to meet and discuss your request, and ensure that we are provided with extended time to respond.

Oh Where, Oh Where has our Cutlery Gone? |
|
Hi friends! We need your help!
In an effort to minimize our footprint, we had started phasing out the use of single-use plastic cups, dishes and utensils at Klinic. In doing so, we were encouraging everyone to use the cutlery and dishes we had in our cupboards/drawers.
We have been SO SUCCESSFUL in this initiative that it would appear our dishes and cutlery have gone rogue in fear of being used so often (they could no longer take the stress of their new-found fame). At this time, we are missing:
|
|
- 50 spoons
- 50 forks
- 4 clear water glasses
- 3 paring knives
- 1 cutting board
- 7 plates
- 10 bowls
|
|
If you happen to know where these items are hiding, can you please wrangle them up and return them to the second floor lunch room? The Comms Team is becoming feral with the inability to consume food on-site.
Please use caution when approaching the AWOL cutlery and dishes as they may attack you in an effort to thwart your return mission!
Thanks everyone!

Klinic's Fun Whiteboard Discussion Series |
|
As you may have seen, we have a lovely whiteboard on the second floor beside our beloved sustenance machines (vending machines). We have been posting fun topics / questions for all staff and volunteers to respond to, in hopes of stirring up some friendly conversations and engagement.
For July, we want to know: who is better: Backstreet Boys or *NSYNC (or other)?
As always, please be respectful and kind when writing your suggestions on the whiteboard. Please keep it PG also :)
In June, we wanted to know what some of your favourite things are to do in the summer. There were so man fun activities listed! Thank you all who contributed!

It's Time to Shave Your Covid Beard! |
|
In recent weeks, as COVID and other respiratory viruses have leveled off, jurisdictions across the country have begun to plan for a return to routine practices and additional precautions. This includes consideration of the ongoing need for universal PPE, including medical masks and eye protection. Effective May 10, 2023, these PPE requirements will be lifted in most areas across the system. While masks will no longer be required except as per routine infection practices Klinic will continue to be mask friendly. This means:
- we will have masks available for staff, volunteers, and clients if they choose to use one
- if an individual requests that a mask be worn while they are receiving care, we will respect their wishes
- if individuals are ill or have symptoms we will request that that they wear a medical mask, or to stay home if that’s possible. Options include rebooking or switching to a virtual appointment where appropriate.
On May 10th we will also stop screening individuals as they come in the door. Staff and volunteers will still need to self-screen before attending the workplace and are asked to please stay home if you are ill. Return to work guidance is being reviewed however there are no changes at this time. Staff and volunteers are also reminded to continue to practice good hand hygiene and regular cleaning of your workspace.
