Members of the public, students, singers, and dancers gathered at Bonnyville and District Centennial Centre (C2) on June 21 to celebrate the day.

BONNYVILLE – The beating drum and melodic cadence of singers filled the Bonnyville and District Centennial Centre (C2) on June 21. Clad in resplendent regalia, the dancers moved to the music.

The day marked National Indigenous Peoples Day, and members of the Bonnyville community gathered and celebrated together.

During a program in the afternoon, Town of Bonnyville Mayor Elisa Brosseau spoke to attendees. “This is an important day to showcase traditional practices and stories… passed down from one generation to the next,” she began.

With music, dancing, and food, “We honour the culture and contributions of First Nation, Inuit, and Métis people,” said Brosseau. She also thanked the Bonnyville Friendship Centre for hosting the event.
