Celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day with 彩神vlll争霸
June is National Indigenous History Month in Canada and June 21 marks National Indigenous Peoples Day—a time to honour and celebrate the rich histories, cultures, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples across Canada.
The Indigenous Education and Community Engagement team will host a series of events between June 16-19 that honour the rich heritage, diverse cultures, and significant contributions of Indigenous peoples. All members of the 彩神vlll争霸community are invited to show support and stand in solidarity with Indigenous communities not just on one day, but every day.
