National Indigenous Peoples Day
Today, members of the Chatham-Kent Police Service will be wearing ‘orange shirt’ pins to promote awareness and education surrounding the Indigenous residential school system and the impact it has had on Indigenous communities.
As the nation celebrates National Indigenous Peoples Day, we recognize and honour the history, culture and contributions of the First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples throughout Canada.
