Nurses urge everyone to reflect on colonization & its lasting impact on First Nations, Inuit & Métis Peoples. It is by acknowledging harms & redressing wrongs that we can build a more just & inclusive Canada for all. #CanadaDay #EveryChildMatters @INAIG_RNAO @DorisGrinspun

June 21st marks National Indigenous Peoples Day, which takes place on the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. ☀️ The summer solstice holds deep spiritual and cultural significance for many Indigenous Peoples, marking a time of renewal, connection, and celebration.
