National Aboriginal Day




Today is National Aboriginal Day. There were lots of festivities. I joined many at the Forks. Also there was Southern Grand Chief Chris Henderson (top photo) doing interviews.

I met Sheila Swasson, Donna Martin-Metallic and Chi Metallic-Larocque (middle photo) who are cycling from Vancouver to St. John's in order to bring attention to efforts to end family violence.

Carol Beaulieu (bottom photo), was a major organizer of the event. Well done Carol!
