Wabano: The Light of the Day

Directed by Alanis Obomsawin
Canada, 2023 (documentary, 31 minutes, colour, English)
Also known as "Wabano : La lumière du jour"

Film Description:
"Nestled at the heart of Canada's national capital, the Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health has been a haven for generations of Indigenous people from many cultures since its founding in 1998. A place of togetherness, the centre celebrated a large expansion in 2013 designed by renowned First Nations architect Douglas Cardinal, which greatly increased its ability to serve Ottawa's Indigenous population in one of the city's poorest neighbourhoods. Under the determined leadership of Allison Fisher, Wabano has become far more than a health centre; through its focus on Indigenous pillars of healing and good health, Wabano has become a home for many."
