Happy Father’s Day! We want to acknowledge all the men in our parish and circle who contribute so greatly to the lives of younger people around them, whether that is your own children, other kids in your family, young friends or another connection. The ways in which you care for these children are valuable and important, and they last beyond childhood. Fathers and father-figures play a critical role in the growth and engagement of our young people. Thank you for all you do!

National Indigenous Peoples Day is on Wednesday, June 21, 2023. It is a day set aside to celebrate and reflect on the many contributions and cultures of First Nations, Inuit and Metis people across Canada. For a list of Indigenous events and celebrations this month, please visit visit www.edmonton.ca/attractions_events/schedule_festivals_events/indigenous-history-month?utm_source=virtualaddress&utm_campaign=indigenoushistorymonth. Do not miss the chance to see the vibrancy, diversity and deep gifting of Indigenous Peoples in Edmonton!

Please help yourself to one of the Indigenous Learning Activities cards from our greeters. These cards were handed out last year on September 30, 2022 and include a number of possible activities you can do to become better acquainted with Indigenous perspectives. Some of these ideas include learning why land acknowledgements are important, attending a cultural event on National Indigenous People Day this coming Wednesday, or volunteering with an indigenous non-profit.
