June is National Indigenous History Month. This is a time for people in Canada to come together and celebrate First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples; a time to reflect on, listen and learn from the diverse experiences and knowledge of Indigenous peoples across Turtle Island and recognize their contributions - past and present.
For many Canadians, the history of Indigenous peoples in Canada was, and in some cases still is - unknown due to a history of colonization. We use this month as a time to reflect on the past and look to the future.
Together we can amplify the voices and strengths of Indigenous youth, leaders and communities by highlighting their contributions and showing up to affirm calls for change.

NEW: Most classroom teachers are unable to adequately support students with special education needs, according to a new AG report.
The report also raises concerns about rising EA absences, and students sent home when schools couldn't meet their needs. thetrillium.ca/news/educatio…
Ontario underfunding the students that require most support. A disgrace.
