'Sault College is honoured to acknowledge and celebrate the outstanding contributions and cultures of Canada’s Indigenous peoples through today’s event. It is important that we all take the opportunity to learn and reflect on these contributions and how they’ve impacted our history' -Dr. Ron Common
As part of National Indigenous Peoples Day and National Indigenous History Month, Sault College hosted a flag raising earlier today.
Today’s event is a part of wider celebrations across Canada and was first celebrated in 1996, after it was proclaimed that year by then Governor General of Canada Roméo LeBlanc. This day was selected for many reasons, including its cultural significance as the summer solstice and it is a day on which many Indigenous groups traditionally celebrate their heritage.
“Sault College is honoured to acknowledge and celebrate the outstanding contributions and cultures of Canada’s Indigenous peoples through today’s event. It is important that we all take the opportunity to learn and reflect on these contributions and how they’ve impacted our history,” said Dr. Ron Common, President Sault College.
