“Resilience” is a coping strategy, not a virtue. Celebrating resilience without interrogating the challenges, problems, and structural issues folks are routinely forced to confront runs the risk of idealizing the capacity to suffer.

Today and every day, let's celebrate and learn more about the unique heritage, diverse cultures and outstanding contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. Although they share similarities, they each have their own distinct heritage, language, and cultural practices.

Youth in and from care can face barriers to participating in sport and cultural activities. They shouldn't have to miss out on the growth and creativity these experiences provide. We're funding a new program to make sure more youth can get involved. https://t.co/3C0GZEBfec
