June is National Indigenous History Month and Pride Month - a time to celebrate, learn, reflect, and take action.
On June 21, we recognize National Indigenous Peoples Day, a day that coincides with the summer solstice and holds deep cultural and spiritual significance for many Indigenous Peoples across Turtle Island.
This month, we honour the strength, resilience, leadership, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples while acknowledging the ongoing impacts of colonization, residential schools, and systemic inequities. Reconciliation is more than remembrance, it requires listening, learning, amplifying Indigenous voices, and supporting Indigenous-led change.
As we celebrate Pride Month, we also recognize the importance of intersectionality. We honour and celebrate the leadership, strength, and contributions of Indigenous 2SLGBTQQIA+ and Indigiqueer relatives while committing to create spaces where their identities, voices, and experiences are respected and uplifted.
National Indigenous History Month and Pride are not just June conversations. Supporting Indigenous communities, reconciliation, and Indigenous 2SLGBTQQIA+ voices is year-round work.
