2023 National Indigenous Peoples Month Celebrations
Thank you for joining us to celebrate the 2023 National Indigenous Peoples Month. Visit Alberta Health Services' Indigenous Health Program to learn more.
On June 21, Canada will celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day. First celebrated in 1996, this is a day to recognize and celebrate the cultures and contributions of Indigenous Peoples from across Canada.
This year our theme is Celebrating Diversity Within Indigenous Peoples and Communities. As part of the celebration this year, our lunchtime sessions throughout June, we will feature topics related to diversity within Indigenous cultures and AHS programming that is focused on improving culturally safe, accessible healthcare for Indigenous clients and families.
