Today we recognize National Indigenous Peoples Day & celebrate the cultures, contributions & resiliency of the First Nations, Inuit & Métis peoples of Turtle Island.

NIPD falls on June 21 because of the significance of the summer solstice, which is the longest day of the year.

[York Region DSB @YRDSB]

This year's theme for #NIPD is "Celebrating Our Youth",

Indigenous youth are the fastest-growing segment of the population across Turtle Island.

They are creators, innovators, artists, dreamers, movers & shakers & leaders of tomorrow. They hold the key to our collective future
