Today is National Indigenous Peoples Day — a day to honour and celebrate the diverse cultures, histories, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples across Canada. At Surrey Urban Mission Society, we recognize the deep strength, resilience, and wisdom of Indigenous communities. We also acknowledge the lasting impacts of colonization and the critical need for ongoing truth, reconciliation, and healing. As a community serving those facing homelessness and poverty—many of whom are Indigenous—we are committed to listening, learning, and acting in ways that uphold dignity and justice. Education is a key step on the path to reconciliation. Whether it’s reading the works of Indigenous authors, attending Indigenous-led events, or exploring teachings from Knowledge Keepers, every step taken matters. Let us continue to walk together in truth, respect, and relationship. #NationalIndigenousPeoplesDay #TruthandReconciliation #DRIPA (fb)
