National Indigenous Peoples Day

June 14–28 Various

The month of June signals the summer solstice on June 21 but also National Indigenous Peoples Day—an opportunity to celebrate the heritage, diverse cultures, and outstanding achievements of First Nations, Inuit, and

Métis people. This year, there will be activities planned from the 14th until the 28th, with special guest Sharon Johnson, who is an Ojibway Kwe from Seine River First Nation and is a part of the committee responsible for the Waniskahtan exhibit, a project designed to educate and create a greater awareness about the high rates of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and 2-Spirit (LGBTQ2S). Organizers hope the exhibit will be able to be viewed publicly in person at Intercity Shopping Centre. Details for this and other exciting events to be finalized so follow the Facebook page for updates! facebook.com/NADTBay
