🧡 Today, on National Indigenous Peoples Day, we celebrate and honour the rich cultures, traditions, histories, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples across Canada.

As we reflect, learn, and listen, we recognize the importance of building relationships rooted in respect, understanding, and reconciliation.

Today is an opportunity to celebrate Indigenous voices, stories, and communities, and to continue learning from one another.
