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.

Join us for a month-long celebration of Indigenous peoples living in Alberta by taking part in daily virtual events that celebrate diversity among Indigenous peoples and communities. This year's theme is Hand in Hand Towards Cultural Safety and is being hosted in collaboration with Primary Care Alberta, Acute Care Alberta, Recovery Alberta and Assisted Living Alberta. This month, we are creating space to listen, learn and reflect on how the healthcare system can support Indigenous patients and families to feel safe, respected and heard.

    For a 10-class series, it's most common to read a land acknowledgement at the first session to set a respectful and intentional tone, especially when the same group of participants is present throughout. In some cases, it may also be appropriate to include the acknowledgement at both the beginning and end of the series, particularly if the course involves reflection or community-building. While reading it at every class can demonstrate a strong, ongoing commitment, (especially in institutions focused on reconciliation and decolonization), it's important to ensure the message remains meaningful and not just routine. Ultimately, there are no hard and fast rules; the frequency should reflect the values of your course, audience, and any relevant institutional or community guidelines.

    Thank you,
