National Indigenous Peoples Day is on June 21, 2021. It is a day set aside to celebrate and reflect on the many contributions and cultures of First Nations, Inuit and Metis people across Canada. For some history on this day, please see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Indigenous_Peoples_Day. For resources listed at the Anglican Diocese of Edmonton, please see https://edmonton.anglican.ca/what-we-do/social-justice--2/pages/resources-indigenous-social-justice-june-2021. Social Justice is often top of mind, but do not miss the chance to see the vibrancy, diversity and deep gifting of Indigenous Peoples across Canada.
