On Tuesday, June 21, Acsenda School of Management celebrated National Indigenous Peoples Day.

Faculty, staff and students took this opportunity to learn more about the history and culture of First Nations, Metis and Inuit peoples. To advance reconciliation, we must commit ourselves to learning from the past and striving for a better tomorrow.

What is the National Indigenous Day?

The National Indigenous Day is celebrated on June 21. It is the longest day of the year in Canada; the purpose is to recognize and learn about the diversity of cultures, voices, experiences, memories, and histories of First Nations, Metis and Inuit peoples.
