Niché au cœur de la capitale nationale du Canada, le centre de santé Wabano est un havre pour des générations d’Autochtones de diverses cultures depuis qu’il a ouvert ses portes en 1998. Lieu d’appartenance, il a fait l’objet en 2013 d’un agrandissement majeur qui a été conçu par le célèbre architecte des Premières Nations Douglas Cardinal et qui a largement accru sa capacité de servir la population autochtone d’Ottawa dans l’un des quartiers les plus défavorisés de la ville. Sous la conduite déterminée d’Allison Fisher, Wabano est devenu beaucoup plus qu’un centre de santé. Fondé sur les piliers autochtones de la guérison et de la santé, il s’est imposé comme un milieu de vie pour beaucoup de gens.
