✨ June 21 marks National Indigenous Peoples Day.

As we approach the longest day of the year, it’s a time to recognize and celebrate the cultures, histories, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples across this land.
For many Indigenous communities, the summer solstice holds deep meaning — a time of connection, renewal, and coming together. That significance continues today through traditions, languages, and community.

At CCIS, building inclusive communities means being intentional about learning, listening, and acknowledging the Indigenous Peoples whose lands we live and work on. This moment is not only about celebration, but also about reflection and continued commitment to respect and reconciliation.

✨ Tomorrow marks World Refugee Day.

A moment to pause and reflect, but also to remember why this work matters every single day.
At CCIS, we see firsthand the strength it takes to start over. Leaving everything behind, navigating the unknown, and still choosing hope — that kind of resilience stays with you.

We’re here for those moments that don’t always get seen. The early days of arrival, the first conversations in a new language, the small wins that build toward something bigger. Every step forward matters, and we’re honoured to be part of that journey.

To those who have been forced to flee: you are valued, you are respected, and you belong here.
We’ll keep showing up; today, tomorrow, and beyond. 💛

June is National Indigenous History Month, a time to recognize and celebrate the cultures, traditions, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples across Canada.

At CCIS, we acknowledge the deep histories of this land and the strength and resilience of Indigenous communities. As we support newcomers, we also see the importance of learning about the original peoples of these lands and encouraging meaningful understanding and respect.

This month is an opportunity to listen, reflect, and learn. We invite our community to explore Indigenous histories, support Indigenous voices, and take part in ongoing conversations that foster respect and connection.
