The Battle River Treaty 6 Health Centre hosted its annual pancake breakfast in celebration of National Aboriginal Day Wednesday in its parking lot.
On offer was a free breakfast along with kids’ activities, cultural music and other entertainment as well.
First proclaimed in 1996, National Aboriginal Day is for all Canadians to recognize and celebrate the unique heritage, diverse cultures and outstanding contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. From the provincial government comes this message: “Our province’s very name ‘Saskatchewan’ is derived from the Cree language,” Minister Responsible for First Nations, Métis and Northern Affairs Donna Harpauer says. “Aboriginal peoples are a fundamental part of our province’s history, diversity, and identity. It’s important for all of us to recognize National Aboriginal Day, whether that’s by participating in a community event or other activity that promotes understanding of reconciliation.”
