About the Logo:
The letter “I” emphasizes the human being as
one who continually balances the wheel hence the letter “I” forms
a figure with arms that seem to turn the wheel. This letter
depicts the notion of empowerment and the idea of the
care taker of the universe, and the people.
The PAC text echoes the fluid lines found in native art.
The letter “C” in the “PAC” text
echoes the moon or cosmos, spiritual mind, universal mind,
individual mind. The Medicine Wheel is powered by the mind
that is in tune with the cosmic being, the environment in
order to experience harmony within them.
The colors and texture in the background of the logo represents
the importance of nature in First Nations worldviews. The
four cardinal directions are evoked.
The dot on the “I” also evokes the notion of technological
designs such as “imac” or dot com era. This also
inspires confidence that the physicians are cognizant about
technological advancements in medicine. The four squares represent
the medicine wheel model.
