Happy Canada Day!

Today, we celebrate the people, communities, and values that make Canada a welcoming, diverse, and compassionate place to call home.

As we celebrate, we also recognize that Canada is built on the traditional territories of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples. We acknowledge their enduring cultures, histories, languages, and contributions, and we remain committed to learning, listening, and advancing reconciliation.

From coast to coast to coast, we are grateful for the dedicated healthcare professionals, volunteers, caregivers, and community organizations who help ensure people receive compassionate hospice palliative care when and where they need it most.

Please note that the HPCO office is closed today, Wednesday, July 1, in observance of Canada Day. We wish everyone a safe, joyful, and meaningful holiday.

June is National Indigenous History Month — a time to recognize and celebrate the rich histories, cultures, languages, traditions, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples across Canada. It is also an opportunity to reflect on the ongoing impacts of colonization and to consider how each of us can contribute to reconciliation.

This month, we encourage everyone to take time to learn through Indigenous voices and experiences by reading Indigenous authors, attending community events, listening to Indigenous artists, and exploring the stories, knowledge, and traditions that have shaped this land since time immemorial.

As we learn, reflect, and celebrate, let us honour the resilience, strength, and diversity of Indigenous communities and commit to building relationships grounded in respect, understanding, and reconciliation.
