June 21 is National Indigenous Peoples Day 🧡

At Conexus, we are proud to join communities across Canada in recognizing and celebrating the rich cultures, traditions, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples.

National Indigenous Peoples Day takes place on the summer solstice, the longest day of the year: a time that has long held significance for many Indigenous communities as a season of gathering, sharing, renewal, and celebration. 🌞

One of the best ways to learn and celebrate is by participating in local events. Here are just a few of the celebrations taking place across Saskatchewan:
