Canada’s National Indigenous Peoples Day gives us a chance to recognize the many achievements of the country’s Indigenous peoples. The day also celebrates the distinct cultures and unique traditions of these native communities. Three Indigenous peoples groups exist in Canada: the Inuit, First Nations, and Metis. Recent statistics put their population at just under 1.7 million. Festivities celebrating National Indigenous Peoples Day are held all throughout Canada every year on June 21.
Random Acts of Light Day
As part of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s ‘Light The Night Walks’ fundraising campaign, Random Acts of Light Day is celebrated every year on June 13. This day encourages us to do a random act of kindness to bring light into the life of someone suffering from cancer. People observe the day by volunteering at hospitals, reading up on treatments and cures for blood cancer patients, or joining the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Light The Night Walks to raise funds and increase awareness about leukemia and lymphoma. Random Acts of Light Day aims to make the world a kinder place for cancer patients and their families.
National Peaches and Cream Day
National Peaches and Cream Day is celebrated annually on June 21 by recognizing a sweet way to eat ripened peaches. Any fruit complements chilled cream well. Peaches ‘n’ cream can be eaten with some homemade vanilla ice cream. The sweetness of the fruit and the smoothness of the cream will tickle your taste buds and leave you wanting more.
