June 21 is National Indigenous People’s Day

June 21 is National Indigenous People’s Day

On June 21, Canada will be celebrating National Indigenous People’s Day, a day to recognize and celebrate the cultures and contributions of Indigenous peoples from across Canada. Let’s gather together – online – to celebrate the rich cultures and stories of Indigenous peoples in Alberta.

Join Calgary Housing Company as we recognize the importance and sacred nature of cultural ceremonies and celebrations that usually occur during this time. While celebrations and events for National Indigenous History Month may be different this year than those in the past, we can still share and learn from stories, traditions and culture in new ways that keep us together and connected.

Upcoming Events

There are events happening throughout the week and weekend, including a large number being led by Alberta Health Services (AHS).
