A vaccine clinic is providing hundreds of city-dwelling Indigenous people with COVID-19 shots in a place where they can feel safe and welcomed.
The clinic, set up inside the Best Western Premier in northeast Calgary, includes Indigenous greeters and staff, as well as displays of local Indigenous history and artifacts.
It s designed to be a safe space to increase the numbers of urban Indigenous people getting vaccinated.
