The Athabasca Tribal Council is hoping residents will use Canada Day as a time to learn more about the country’s and Indigenous history.
The ATC, along with the RMWB, released a statement on Tuesday where they noted they want to see events continue as planned, though with a strong emphasis on building a Canada that everyone wants to see for future generations.
“It is our hope that on July 1st and beyond, people will take the opportunity to have an open dialogue about our past, present and future as both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people work together towards a stronger Canada,” said Allan Adam, ATC President.

First Nation and Métis communities across the Fort McMurray Wood Buffalo area are holding a day of remembrance and reflection on Thursday instead of Canada Day celebrations. Dozens of other First Nation and Métis communities have made similar decisions following the discovery of more than 1,000 unmarked graves at former residential schools in recent weeks.

The discovery of remains of residential school victims in Kamloops is leaving many in the RMWB calling for action.
Over the weekend, the remains of 215 Indigenous children were found buried which has once again highlighted the injustices these schools committed for decades.
For years, children were taken from their families, many never having the chance to be re-united, and suffered from both physical and mental abuse.
Despite many believing these atrocities took place well before their time, the last residential closed in 1996.
“We have heard the stories of what happened at the schools from our elders and family members who survived and who are still with us today,” said Bill Loutitt, CEO of the McMurray Métis.
