National Indigenous Peoples Day

June 21 is National Indigenous Peoples Day – a time to celebrate the history, heritage, diversity and outstanding contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples in Canada.

The City of Coquitlam recognizes National Indigenous Peoples Day as part of its commitment to reconciliation – the work of establishing mutually respectful relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people in Canada.
