CMHA Celebrates National Indigenous Peoples Day

CMHA Niagara recognizes National Indigenous Peoples Day on June 21, as an opportunity to honour the rich cultures and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples in Canada.

There are a number of ways you can celebrate the culture and contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples in Canada. Consider getting involved in local events, sharing images and using hashtag #NIPD2024. For more information and resources, visit: Explore learning resources about First Nations, Inuit and Métis across Canada, and download and share National Indigenous History Month and National Indigenous Peoples Day images to show your support.

CMHA Niagara encourages the community to take time today to learn about and honour Indigenous cultures, both locally and nationally.

“The story of this scene is to honour the journey we take in healing ourselves. When people visit CMHA, they share their truth, their story, and they have a great sense of courage and strength to meet their fears and challenges.” – Alicia Kejick
