It’s National Insurance Awareness Day; and while it’s not the most exciting “holiday”, it’s one that should remind us all of the need to protect ourselves and our families from the unexpected. And with summer here, it’s easy to get swept up in planning your next family vacation or getaway with friends.

We celebrate National Indigenous History Month in June, with National Indigenous Peoples Day on June 21 kicking off festivals and events across Canada. These festivals take place throughout the summer and offer visitors the opportunity to experience and learn about the Indigenous culture.

June is National Indigenous History Month in Canada; a time to reflect on the ways that First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples have shaped our collective history, culture and identity. Indigenous Peoples’ valued contributions to the environment, agriculture, the arts, traditions and way of life are celebrated at this time, offering other Canadians and visitors an opportunity to learn and spread awareness.
