Tomorrow, June 21, is National Indigenous People’s Day!

This is new special day in Canada, and an important opportunity to learn more about the Indigenous People's of Canada and celebrate those who occupied this land before settlers arrived. Curious why it takes place this time of year?

For generations, many First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities have celebrated their cultures, languages, and traditions at this time of year.
