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 we embark on a Journey to Wellness, celebrating personal stories and practices rooted in the pursuit of mental well-being, fostering healing and family and community connections.
