Today is National Indigenous Peoples Day (June 21). It is a time to celebrate the incredible heritage, diverse cultures, and outstanding contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples, who have called this land home since time immemorial. Celebrating Indigenous Peoples across Turtle Island presents a valuable opportunity to embrace their culture and take pride in their identity while challenging stereotypes and gaining a deeper understanding of their rich culture.
It’s also crucial to acknowledge Canada’s past and the ongoing impact of colonization, racism, and stereotypes on the health of Indigenous Peoples within the healthcare system. By observing this day, we have the opportunity to stand in solidarity and raise awareness about the challenges and triumphs facing Indigenous communities. We encourage everyone to use this occasion to deepen our understanding, challenge misconceptions, and foster a more inclusive and compassionate community. We invite everyone to take part in the many cultural activities and celebrations planned across the city to learn more about Indigenous peoples who have helped shape this country.
