“Indigenous Peoples Day is one of my favourite days, as our busy world doesn’t allow us to gather as a community very often. We meet down at Komasket Park and shares stories, play traditional games, laugh, and most importantly we get to reconnect with our traditional cooking methods and foods. I cherish the time when we gather as we must be able to hear and carry on legend stories from our elders.” - Cody Isaac, BCFS Indigenous Students’ Representative #indigenouspeoplesday

Being an ally goes beyond posting on social media. It’s about challenging yourself to confront your own biases, and to educate those around you. Thank you @wastefreemarie for sharing this important information. #blacklivesmatter

Muting our messaging, but not being quiet. Being an ally is not a black square, it’s about unlearning biases, and learning new perspectives. Watching and understanding. Challenging racism when you see it and supporting others without taking unnecessary space. Share stories. Share information. Participate in protest. Support Black people and businesses owned by Black people and POC. Volunteer for or donate to an anti-racism organization. #blackouttuesday

Canada is not immune to racial injustice and police brutality. We must stand up against what is happening in the US as well as in our own country. We must dismantle systems of oppression and build systems that support us all. ✊🏽✊🏿✊🏻 (Link to statement in bio) #SayHisName #justiceforgeorgefloyd #nojusticenopeace #icantbreathe #cdnpoli #bcpoli #BLM
