Indigenous peoples have been integral to Canada's history, with over 4,000 Indigenous individuals serving in the First World War from 1914 to 1918. Their skills as hunters made them exceptional marksmen and scouts, contributing significantly to the war effort.

[The Alex @TheAlexCHC]

We honour the immense contributions of Indigenous men and women who fought for our freedom. Their sacrifices helped shape the country we all live, work, and play in today, Canada.

Isolation and loneliness continues to be one of the most common issues facing aging adults today. While our world gets more digital, the need for real social connection still remains important to our wellbeing.
