Today, June 21, is National Indigenous Peoples Day! For generations, Indigenous groups and communities have chosen this date, around the summer solstice—the longest day of the year—as a time to celebrate their rich culture and heritage. Navacord acknowledges that our Toronto office is located on the traditional lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat peoples. Our city is home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities. On this day, we reaffirm our commitment to celebrating the vibrant cultures, histories, and contributions of Indigenous peoples across Canada. We strive to foster a workplace where reconciliation with and respect for Indigenous communities are prioritized. #NIPD2024 #IndigenousHeritage #ReconciliateAndCelebrate
