National Indigenous Peoples Day & National Indigenous History Month
 
June 21st marks National Indigenous Peoples Day, a day to honour and celebrate the history and cultures of the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples across Canada. We take this time to recognize and celebrate the resilience of all Indigenous Peoples as well as their vibrant and distinct cultures, and to learn about Indigenous histories, strengths, and significant contributions, not just in June, but beyond. Krasman Centre remains committed to acknowledging and sharing the truth and working towards healing and reconciliation with Indigenous communities. 
The Inaadiziwin Centre provides culturally appropriate peer support-based programs to vulnerable residents of Georgina Island First Nation. The centre employs trained Peer Supporters who are members of the Chippewas of Georgina Island who have direct lived experience and knowledge of the social, economic and health obstacles impacting residents on Georgina Island.
