Hamilton Immigration Partnership Council

June invites us to honour Indigenous History Month by learning from Indigenous cultures, reflecting on the impacts of colonization, and committing to meaningful reconciliation. 🧡
 
As we approach National Indigenous Peoples Day on June 21, a day of renewal aligned with the summer solstice, we celebrate the strength, knowledge, and traditions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples.
 
🗓️ Join community events throughout the month, including:

• National Indigenous Peoples Day gathering at West Harbour (June 19) — www.hamilton.ca/things-do/festivals-events/events-calendar/national-indigenous-peoples-day-celebration

• Soaring Spirit Indigenous Festival & Pow Wow (June 19-21) — soaringspiritpowwow.com
