National Indigenous Peoples Day takes place on the summer solstice, June 21. It’s a special occasion to learn more about the rich and diverse cultures, voices, experiences and histories of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples.

From CLBC:
Before the pandemic, we asked the people we serve, their families, service partners and CLBC staff what they thought about the way CLBC describes our services (as outlined in the Catalogue of Services, a document that has a description of our services in it). We want to thank everyone who participated in those sessions.
We now have an opportunity to finish this work and want to hear from you about the draft changes we’ve made.
To make sure this is done right, we need to hear from you!
