June is National Indigenous History Month.

This month is a dedicated time to honor, recognize, and celebrate the rich histories, diverse cultures, and enduring strength of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples across Canada and right here in our own province.

As an organization dedicated to community care, we believe honoring history must go hand-in-hand with active learning and reflection. We are incredibly grateful for the Indigenous community members, staffs, participants, and partners who enrich our work and guide our journey toward building a truly inclusive community.
