National Indigenous Peoples Day

Today we recognize and celebrate Indigenous histories, heritage, diversity, cultures, and people across Canada, including those who would traditionally steward the lands of amiskwaciy-wâskahikan (Edmonton).

Organizations and agencies throughout the city are hosting celebrations today — check them all out here — and the River Cree Resort will be hosting a fireworks display at 10:30pm.
