June 21st is National Indigenous Peoples Day, coinciding with summer solstice, the longest day of the year. It is a traditional time of celebration for many Indigenous communities, and a day for all Canadians to recognize and celebrate the unique heritage and diverse cultures of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. However, acknowledging and supporting our Indigenous people must be a year-long initiative, especially if we want to see change towards equity, inclusion, and minimizing the Indigenous wealth gap.
