CBU Social Work Society

This National Indigenous Peoples History Month, we honour the strength, resilience, cultures, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples. As social work students, we are committed to learning, listening, and practicing respectful and culturally informed practices. As future social workers and social work students, we are constantly learning, unlearning, and relearning to make our future practice a safe, welcoming space. 🧡🪶

June is National Indigenous History Month. This month invites all settlers to reflect, learn, and engage with the histories, cultures, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples across Turtle Island.

As social workers, our responsibility to truth and reconciliation calls us to continually deepen our knowledge, challenge colonial systems, and advocate for meaningful change.

Happy Pride Month! June is a time for celebration and reflection as social workers across Canada honour the strength, joy, and resilience of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities.

Social workers have a responsibility to protect q***r and trans lives and to advocate for inclusive, affirming care. As we celebrate the right to live and love openly, CASW encourages social workers to:

- Learn more about 2SLGBTQIA+ experiences
- Advocate for safety and equitable policies
- Build meaningful relationships with q***r and trans communities
- Commit to providing care that is inclusive, empowering, and affirming

Our CBU Social Work Society is wishing our Co-President Hope good luck as she leaves for Quebec to compete on Nova Scotia’s Wheelchair Basketball Team at the Canada Games! 🧡

Congratulations Hope! We are so proud of you and can’t wait to cheer you on from home 🥰

Pride is more than a celebration, it’s a reminder of the ongoing work toward equity, inclusion, and belonging within society. As future social workers, we advocate for communities where every person can live safely and proudly! 🌈✨🥰
