Interim Scientific Director News Today : Breaking News, Live Updates & Top Stories | Vimarsana

Margo Greenwood was born in Wetaskiwin, AB, Canada, to a Cree father and English mother, and was raised and educated in Ponoka, AB. Both places are located in Treaty 6 territory. Tragically, Greenwood lost both her parents, “in my mid-teens”, she recalls, “and so I was really on my own”. It was an experience that influenced the focus of her work. Greenwood is now Professor in the Education programme at the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) in Prince George, BC, Canada. She is also Academic Leader of the National Collaborating Centre for Indigenous Health, hosted at UNBC, Interim Scientific Director of the Institute of Indigenous Peoples’ Health, Canadian Institutes of Health Research in Ottawa, ON, Canada, and has recently been appointed to the Canadian Senate.
