June is National Indigenous History Month. Indigenous midwives are integral in strengthening Indigenous families and communities. We seek to listen to, learn from and amplify Indigenous perspectives.

As part of AOM negotiations and in response to prior AOMBT member surveys the AOMBT s is thrilled to provide a number of new and enhanced one year programs effective April 1, 2023 These programs include:

The Trust is currently seeking applications for Non-Trustee Midwife Committee Members.

May 5 marks Red Dress Day, a National Day of Awareness for missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, transgender, gender-diverse, and Two-Spirit people (MMIWG2S+). We remember and honour those lost and affected by loss, today and always.

March 8 is International Women’s Day. This year’s theme is #EmbraceEquity, imagining a gender equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive and where difference is valued and celebrated.

September 30 marks the 2nd National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a day to remember & reflect on the legacy of residential schools as well as honouring survivors. The AOMBT will be closed tomorrow to reflect on this history & learn more about the TRC's Calls to Action.

The AOMBT commits to being an organization that is anti-oppressive. We aim to better understand the intersectionality of oppression. We acknowledge the entrenched and ongoing history of racism, colonialization, and oppression of our Indigenous members. Finally, we aim to listen, learn, grow and become better allies in our work to support the financial, physical, and mental wellbeing of plan members and their families throughout their lives.
