私人影院 Celebrates National Indigenous Peoples Day

(Sault Ste. Marie, ON June 21, 2023) 鈥 Today, the 私人影院 community and guests joined together for a flag raising ceremony in honour and in recognition of National Indigenous Peoples Day and National Indigenous History Month. The annual event celebrates the rich cultural heritage of the First Nations, Inuit and M茅tis peoples of Canada, and serves as a reminder of the need to learn and reflect on Indigenous history, knowledge, and important contributions in our province and country.

Today鈥檚 event is a part of wider celebrations across Canada and 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.

私人影院 is proud to foster and encourage an understanding and appreciation of the histories, culture, experiences, and traditions of Indigenous peoples. The College鈥檚 commitment to advancing Indigenous education is strong and is embedded into the fabric of our college values, strategic priorities, and overarching goals. The College continues its important work in this area and remains committed to moving forward in a spirit of trust, collaboration, and reconciliation.

It is important that we all take the opportunity to learn and reflect on these contributions and how they鈥檝e impacted our history,鈥 said Dr. Ron Common, President 私人影院. 鈥淭oday and every day we strive to create a deeper, collective understanding and appreciation of the contributions of the First Nations, Inuit and M茅tis peoples of Canada, so we can actively advance the journey of reconciliation,鈥 he added.

Incoming president David Orazietti emphasized the significance of National Indigenous History Month and National Indigenous Peoples Day. "I am honoured to be part of this important event that celebrates the vibrant Indigenous cultures that have shaped our country. June serves as an important opportunity for all Canadians to engage in learning about the rich and diverse histories of Indigenous peoples. We are also reminded of our shared responsibility to actively advance truth, reconciliation, and understanding.鈥
