Celebrating Aboriginal Day 2008

In 1996, the Parliment of Canada proclaimed June 21st as National Aboriginal People's Day. This day is an opportunity for the Public Service Alliance of Canada to express solidarity with Aboriginal Peoples and support the call for a better life for all Aboriginal Peoples across Canada. It is also an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the contribution Aboriginal people make within our communities and Union.

The Public Service Alliance of Canada and Union of Northern Workers sponsored their annual Pancake Breakfast in celebration of Aboriginal Day on June 21st at the Elks Club in Yellowknife. The breakfast was well attended, and bandanas were distributed to the crowd.
