I hope this message finds you all well. I’m sure that many of you are aware that today is National Indigenous Peoples Day, but I wanted to take a moment to recognize and honor the FNMI community. This is a day for all Canadians to recognize and celebrate the unique heritage, diverse cultures, and outstanding contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples.
I had the privilege to collaborate with FNMI students from our school this year on an Indigenous Awareness video along with the participation, production, and outstanding work from Gatineau Youth Commission.
I want to take a moment to thank our Symmes and D’Arcy students that shared their stories, input, and feelings regarding their culture. They are the best.
Here’s the video, it’s the first one on the page:
Thank you,
