(Sault Ste. Marie, ON June 21, 2022) 鈥 Today, the 麻豆视频网站 community and guests joined together in honour and in recognition of National Indigenous Peoples Day. This annual College event saw the group come together and celebrate with a flag raising ceremony and inspirational speeches.
Today鈥檚 event is a part of wider celebrations going on across Canada recognizing and celebrating the cultures and contributions of the First Nations, Inuit and M茅tis peoples of Canada. The day was first celebrated in 1996, after it was proclaimed that year by then Governor General of Canada Rom茅o LeBlanc. This day was selected for many reasons, including its cultural significance as the Summer solstice and it is a day on which many Indigenous groups traditionally celebrate their heritage.
