June is National Indigenous History Month in Canada and is an opportunity to learn about the unique cultures, traditions, and experiences of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples, who have lived on this land since time immemorial and whose presence continues to shape Canada today. It is also a time for reflection: to acknowledge the ongoing impacts of colonization and consider how each of us can contribute to meaningful reconciliation.
This Sunday, June 21, is National Indigenous Peoples Day. Communities across Canada will honour Indigenous cultures through festivals, ceremonies, cultural performances, and community gatherings. This day is an important moment to celebrate the strength, knowledge, and resilience of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples.
Perley Health’s Commitment
Perley Health recognizes National Indigenous History Month as a time to honour the histories, cultures, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples. We acknowledge that our campus is located on the unceded, traditional territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabe People, who have cared for this land since time immemorial.
At Perley Health, we reaffirm our commitment to building relationships rooted in respect, humility, and ongoing learning as we work toward a more inclusive and equitable future – one that reflects and celebrates the communities we serve. We honour and recognize our residents, staff, and volunteers who identify with Indigenous heritage, and we continue to focus on the progress we can make together.
