UNBC professor awarded Order of Canada

For 15 years she has contributed to the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and was advisory board chair for the Institute of Aboriginal Peoples’ Health from 2006-2013. She is currently a member of the Institute of Population and Public Health Advisory Board.

“I’ve been working in early childhood education since the start of my career. It’s a calling that makes my heart sing,” Dr. Greenwood says. “I’m accepting this award for my three sons who can see their contributions to our family realized, and for my granddaughter to see the full potential of women. I thank my Elders, teachers and colleagues who’ve advised and supported me in this journey.”

“The impact of Dr. Greenwood’s ongoing work and leadership in education and research initiatives aimed at addressing Indigenous health inequities in B.C. and across Canada is immeasurable,” says UNBC Interim President Dr. Geoff Payne. “This prestigious honour is a testament to her unwavering commitment to ensuring that Indigenous Peoples’ experiences, perspectives and knowledge are prioritized at provincial, national and international tables.”

Dr. Greenwood is one of 135 new additions to the Order of Canada.
