Riverside Park in Guelph hosts event to recognize National Indigenous Peoples Day
Riverside Park will be having an in-person event on Tuesday in recognition of the day.Stephen Jackson is the CEO of Anishnabeg Outreach in Guelph. As an Indigenous person, he said he’s proud to see other cultures celebrating together.
National Indigenous Peoples Day is for Canadians to learn and celebrate the heritage, culture and outstanding contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples. “I think everything that we do is designed to do proactive work,” he said. “It’s the healing that’s probably the most important piece because without healing you really can’t work, your family situations can be abusive and your relationships can be toxic.”Among the initiatives offered at Anishnabeg are an EarlyOn Centre, employment and job training, mental health management system and a multi-sports program.
