A Message from Director Kelly
June 21st, 2023
Throughout the year our Open Minds staff hold a number of cultural and educational events for our First Nations, Inuit and Métis students, of which most people in our communities are unaware. But June is National Indigenous History Month and the 21st is Indigenous Peoples Day, when we broadly celebrate their legacy, culture and contributions.
Building awareness within all our communities is an essential part of reconciliation. The more we understand and the stronger our appreciation grows, the closer we will get to honest and mutually beneficial relationships.
We are proud of what we do and what we have done, and we pledge to continue our efforts as leaders in this honourable and essential quest.
