Celebrate, Honour, & Learn

June is National Indigenous History Month in Canada, an opportunity to learn about the unique cultures, traditions and experiences of First Nations, Inuit and Métis.  It is a time to honour the stories, achievements and resilience of Indigenous Peoples, who have lived on this land since time immemorial and whose presence continues to impact the evolving Canada.

The House of Commons designated June as National Aboriginal History Month in 2009. The name was changed to National Indigenous History Month in 2017.

Pride Month is an opportunity to celebrate the diversity of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities as well as recognizing their history, the hardships they have endured and still experience, and the progress in acceptance, medical understanding, and legal rights that has been made.
