2024 Indigenous Education Leads and Grad Coach Gathering. Listened to the amazing @Rileyyesnomaybe speak. Learned to continue to look for the #purplerain that Dr. Sean Lessard taught us. Got to see incredible @IsaacMurdoch1 art. A very memorable and knowledgeable conference!
#IndigenousVeteransDay honours the thousands of Indigenous soldiers who served in various conflicts, despite facing systemic discrimination both during and after their service. It is a time to recognize their bravery and contributions to Canada’s military.
#LestWeForget
We honour the remarkable contributions of our Indigenous veterans. Through their courage and sacrifices, they defended the rights and freedoms that we hold dear. Let us also continue to commit to the work of reconciliation, fostering unity and healing in our communities. 🍁 🎖️
Today is International Inuit Day! Celebrate Inuit voices, culture, language, and ways of life!
