National Aboriginal Day Tues. June 21, 7 to10 pm In cooperation with national Aboriginal organizations, the Government of Canada has designated June 21 National Aboriginal Day. This date was chosen because it corresponds to the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, and because for generations, many Aboriginal groups have celebrated their culture and heritage at this time of year. A spiritual ceremony in honour of the summer solstice and the summer season will be conducted by a native elder from the Mississauga of the New Credit. This is an opportunity for visitors to the fort to participate in an Aboriginal ceremony and learn more about First Nations spiritual traditions honouring the land, the season, and the environment. There will be music and Aboriginal food. Free admission
