The Indigenous Health identifier represents our aim to be a culturally safe and equitable organization.
It was designed in collaboration with First Nations, Métis Nation and Inuit community partners and features:
- A hummingbird as the First Nations symbol of health
- The Métis Nation’s Infinity Flag
- An Inuksuk to represent the Inuit
- A medicine wheel which symbolizes balance and represents the four elements of health: mental, emotional, physical and spiritual health
- A drum to symbolize the heart beat of the people

How to use the Indigenous Health identifier
The Indigenous Health program has exclusive use of this identifier to communicate Fraser Health's commitment to provide safe, holistic and accessible care for Indigenous Peoples.
Identifier buffer zone
The buffer zone refers to the area directly surrounding the identifier. As shown below, the buffer zone (in grey) is half the height of the identifier in equal proportions to the width.
Avoid placing anything in the buffer zone, including:
- Text
- Graphic elements
- Page edges
Minimum logo size
- The minimum size is 0.375 inches as shown below.
- When reproduction quality is questionable, the minimum size should be increased.
- Where the tagline – better health, best in health care – becomes illegible due to size, it should be removed.
