June is National Indigenous History Month, with National Indigenous Peoples Day June 21st. It's a time to celebrate and learn from First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples’ diverse cultures, histories, experiences, creations, perspectives, and achievements.
Join the Urban Indigenous Education Centre (UIEC) throughout the month of June for opportunities for staff and students to learn from Indigenous artists, authors, and speakers through various virtual workshops and panel discussions.
On June 21, the TDSB recognizes National Indigenous Peoples Day. This is a day of significance for many Indigenous Peoples in the country we call Canada today. It marks the day when the Sun is closest to Earth and is the longest day of the year with the shortest night. The summer solstice holds deep spiritual and cultural significance for many Indigenous Peoples, marking a time of renewal, connection, and celebration. It is a time that reminds us to remain grounded, humble and appreciative.
