In Canada, we annually mark April 28th as the National Day of Mourning. It is dedicated to remembering those who were injured, disabled, or have lost their lives on the job or due to a work-related incident or occupational disease(s). Sadly, in Alberta, 161 lives were lost in 2022 due to workplace injury or illness.

Join us in honoring the memory of those who were killed, injured, or disabled, and renew your commitment to working safely. Together, we can work toward a safer workplace and answer the call to protect the health and safety of those who work during the most vulnerable of times.

International Mother Language Day

February 21 is International Mother Language Day. Mother languages are an inherent component of connecting a people to their cultural history and land. Receiving education in one’s mother tongue has multiple proven benefits.

There are over 6000 languages spoken in the world today – and an estimated 43% are endangered. Globally, 40% of the population does not have access to an education in a language they speak or understand. Fewer than 100 languages are used in the digital world.

The site https://native-land.ca/ shows clearly how rich and diverse Turtle Island (North America) is in regards to language and cultural groups.

Native Land is a resource to learn more about Indigenous territories, languages, lands, and ways of life. We welcome you to our site.

Indigenous Veterans Day is celebrated every year on November 8th. It is a day to commemorate and acknowledge all Indigenous Peoples who have served and continue to serve in the Canadian Armed Forces. It is important that we recognize and remember their sacrifices, those who lost their lives and those whose lives were forever changed.

November 7 is International Inuit Day. Also known as International Circumpolar Inuit Day, it is a day created to celebrate Inuit and amplify their voices. International Inuit Day has been observed since 2006 when the Inuit Circumpolar Council designated Nov. 7 as a day to celebrate the Arctic and the people who call it home. On this day, the Inuit Circumpolar Council cooperates with various organizations in Canada, Alaska, Greenland, and the Chukchi Peninsula to organize events aimed at promoting the culture of the Arctic peoples and their indigenous rights, such as the rights to their land, language, religion, and other elements of cultural heritage and identity.
