The longest day of the year - June 21

June 21 - Share in the Celebration!

“In cooperation with national Aboriginal organizations, the
Government of Canada designated June 21 National
Aboriginal Day. This date was chosen because it corresponds
to the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, and
because for generations, many Aboriginal groups have
celebrated their culture and heritage at this time of year.

National Aboriginal Day is a wonderful opportunity to
become better acquainted with the cultural diversity of
Inuit, Métis and First Nations peoples, discover the unique
accomplishments of Aboriginal peoples in fields as varied as
agriculture, the environment and the arts, and celebrate
their significant contribution to Canadian society.” - from
Indian and Northern Affairs Canada
