On June 21, PSAC celebrates National Indigenous Peoples Day, reaffirming our commitment to reconciliation and honouring the rich history, resilience, and diverse heritage of Indigenous peoples. We encourage members to take the time to deepen their understanding of Indigenous history, share knowledge, and support ongoing reconciliation efforts to advance equity within our workplaces and communities. 

There are many ways for members to get involved; taking time to reflect and better understand Indigenous histories and experiences, and through ongoing education and engagement. 

PSAC has developed Walking in Our Truth Together, an online training course available to all members to help participants better understand the long and painful legacy of the residential school system, the Indian Act, and colonialist systems, while also offering inspiring ways everyone can  support reconciliation and offer solidarity  both in our union and our communities. Through first-hand accounts and critical discussions, our online course explores the history, experiences and resilience of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples across Turtle Island. 

How you can participate: 

• Learn more: PSAC’s Walking in Our Truth Together is a self-guided online training designed to help you deepen your understanding of Indigenous histories and perspectives. 

• Share: Encourage colleagues to join the training and reflect together. 

• Take action: Advocate for Indigenous rights and justice at work and in your community by joining National Indigenous Peoples Day celebrations.
