La Ronge and the Lac La Ronge Indian Band were among the first to announce they will not be celebrating Canada Day in their communities this year, later joined by Wahpeton Dakota Nation and Flying Dust First Nation. Melville has postponed its planned activities until July 8, as shared on social media. Meadow Lake, located just north of Cowessess First Nation, also cancelled previously planned fireworks. Residents are instead urged to place candles on their front steps or display orange shirts in windows to show support for residential school survivors. Regina is one community that will be hosting Indigenous-focused events in place of Canada Day celebrations, to provide support and educational opportunities to residents.
