National Aboriginal Day — 21 June

Canada’s National Aboriginal Day gives us a chance to recognize the many achievements of the country’s Indigenous peoples. The day also celebrates the distinct cultures and unique traditions of these native communities. Three Aboriginal groups exist in Canada: the Inuit, First Nations, and Metis. Recent statistics put their population at just under 1.7 million. Festivities celebrating National Aboriginal Day are held all throughout Canada every year on June 21.
