National Aboriginal Day History

On June 13, 1996, the Governor General of Canada proclaimed June 21st to be National Aboriginal Day, offering Aboriginal peoples an excellent opportunity to share their rich, diverse cultures with family members, neighbours, friends, and visitors. On June 21st, Canadians from all walks of life are invited to participate in the many National Aboriginal Day events that will be taking place from coast to coast to coast.

Please join our UFV students, faculty, and staff to celebrate National Aboriginal Day Awareness on June 14, 2017.
