National Indigenous Peoples Day

June 21, 2026 is the 30th anniversary of National Indigenous Peoples Day. It's a time to recognize and celebrate the traditions, cultures and contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis.

National Indigenous Peoples Day takes place on the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. For generations, many First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities have celebrated their cultures, languages, and traditions at this time of year. The summer solstice holds deep spiritual and cultural significance for many Indigenous Peoples, marking a time of renewal, connection, and celebration.

In 1982, the National Indian Brotherhood, now the Assembly of First Nations, called for the creation of National Aboriginal Solidarity Day.

In 1995, the Sacred Assembly, a national conference of Indigenous and non-Indigenous people chaired by Elijah Harper, called for a national holiday to celebrate the contributions of Indigenous Peoples.

In 1995, the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples recommended the designation of a National First Peoples Day.

World Refugee Day 2026 comes at a time when the promise of safety is being tested in every region of the world.

A refugee is someone who fled his or her home and country owing to “a well-founded fear of persecution because of his/her race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion”, according to the United Nations 1951 Refugee Convention. Many refugees are in exile to escape the effects of natural or human-made disasters.

By mid-2025, 117.3 million people worldwide remained forcibly displaced by persecution, conflict, violence, human rights violations or events seriously disturbing public order.

Low- and middle-income countries host 71 per cent of the world’s refugees and other people in need of international protection, while Least Developed Countries provide asylum to 25 per cent of the total.

At mid-2025, Sudan was the world’s largest displacement situation, with 13.4 million Sudanese refugees, asylum-seekers and internally displaced people.

Three in every four refugees or people displaced by conflict live in countries facing high-to-extreme exposure to climate-related hazards, compounding the risks faced by people already forced to flee.
